On the plane headed to Portland!

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a chance to travel back to the US, so we were very happy to be invited to the wedding of some friends.

Somehow between Puerto Vallarta and Portland the airline lost Angie’s bag…

Located in the beautiful high desert outside Bend, OR, the wedding was a fantastic event.  We enjoyed the ceremony, seeing the couple tie the knot, and reconnecting with friends that we hadn’t seen, in most cases, in over a year.

We also took advantage of the trip to Oregon to spend a couple of days visiting our old hometown of Portland.

All dressed up for Chris & Kelsie’s wedding in Sisters, OR

We checked out our old house (and we still miss the neighborhood), of course sampled some of our favorite restaurants (Tasty and Alder, Grand Central Bakery, and Ox), and visited with friends.

A few holes of golf for Mike, Angie and Allen in beautiful central Oregon

Biking around Caldera and Sunriver with Deb & Allen and their family is one of our favorite central Oregon pastimes

We can’t visit Portland without stopping by to check out our old house

Yum! Jammers from Grand Central Bakery

Angie was super happy to spend a little time with her good friend Heather in Portland

Brunch at Tasty and Alder in Portland was a real treat

Our Airbnb had bikes for us- it was great to ride around our old neighborhoods
