Finally got to take a trip to Portland without any rain. What a beautiful state. It isn't as green as it usually is in the summer, but they have had a shortage of rain...hasn't rained since the 4th ofJuly weekend. Here are some great shots from Interstate 84 heading west towards Portland. These are all shots of the Columbia River and Mount Hood.
We also took that oh so lovely trip to
New Jersey this past week. It was 104 degrees with 80 percent humidity...still don't get the appeal to live here. However,
we did get a scheduled stop in Maryland and got to try some AMAZING crabcakes. Kudos to Sara Harker, the fabulous person who suggested we go to G & M's restaurant to partake. Being a native she knew exactly where to go. The cakes were the best I have ever had and Jeff had a pasta dish with various seafood that was fantastic as well. On the must mention list though, the cream of crab soup...cream and crab...how can you screw that up? It was a great lunch and a nice treat. We would definately re-visit this place. Maryland and Deleware are very pretty an
d would like to take some time there are well to explore further. Somehow they frown on semi-trucks in touristy locations, not to mention its not on our route and Watkins Shepard probably wouldn't like the sight-seeing out of route either. But, they are on our list for places to visit later.
We have to go drive to Phoenix now from LA tonight and be back here tomorrow for another load. Talk to you all soon.
