Today we went to Stacy's sisters house for lunch and I finally met Connor and Madelyn. I was spoilt with hugs and kisses from Madelyn which was very nice. Connor and I made some Lego stuff and then I spent some time swinging him around by his arms which were a foot longer by the time I left. Stacy decided to take this photo just as I was multi-tasking by giving Connor a donkey ride whilst pushing Madelyn along on her Kawasaki motorbike!
Stacy's mom was also there baking a poppy seed wedding cake and we got to eat the excess top bit that was sliced off, it was deliciously warm.
Tonight we went to Red Robin for dinner and they wouldn't accept my proof of age so I wasn't allowed a glass of wine - can you believe it. The waiters had badges saying 'We ID anyone under 39.5'. Very funny. One waiter said "You probably get this all the time but may I ask where you're from?" It turns out his Mom lives in Yorkshire, his Uncle in Scotland and his Aunt in Manchester - what do you say to that? I was too busy sulking about the wine to engage in conversation.
It's been a day of lasts - my last view of Portland City, last drive through Oregon, last dip in the pool and soak in the hot tub, and my last night at Stacy's apartment sleeping on the inflatable bed that's been my friend for 3 weeks.
I've packed my bags as my final night will be in a hotel in Seattle, I've had amazing weather here but strangely enough there is thunder and lightning outside this evening. I checked the weather forescast for the UK and it looks like the sun might come home with me (I live in hope).
