August US visit details

Hi all - here are some of the main details of our August US visit so far:

*We arrive in Portland on Thursday, Aug. 14 at 12:45pm. So excited! Who's going to be there?

*We'll be out camping with (hopefully) everyone we know in the Portland area on Friday & Saturday, Aug. 15 & 16. (Who's getting the keg of Bridgeport? - seriously).
We're hoping someone will volunteer to take us to Won & Jordan's house on Sunday so that we can pick up Andy's truck (hint, hint).

*We depart Portland for Minneapolis on Wednesday, Aug. 20 - will spent Wednesday night in the Minneapolis area with Larry & Deb Sweany and Ray & Marcia Brown. We're going to hit the closest Outback Steakhouse to check-up on its authenticity.

*Friday, August 22 - attend Steve & Marnie's wedding in Duluth!!!

*Sunday, Aug. 24th - fly Minneapolis back to Portland.

*Depart Portland headed back to Melbourne on Thursday, Aug. 28th at 5pm.

We are really excited to be coming home for a visit and to attend this very special wedding.


In other news, we leave this Sunday for a week-long vacation in Cairns and Cooktown (far NE corner of the country) to see good-ol' Jason Nielsen, the Great Barrier Reef, and who knows what else.

We chatted with Zach & Buddy in Alaska via webcam this past weekend - so great to see both of them. Buddy couldn't look more content - we're beginning to doubt that he will see the need for returning to the city-life of Portland next year after his much loved Alaska wilderness. Andy dropped a "Maybe we should live in Alaska for 6 months when we go home," suggestion, to which I didn't really have a response.

Hoping summer has gotten off to a fantastic start for everyone. For many of you, see you in 2 months!!

Cheers!
Love, Christy
