It's Labor Day weekend and Thursday night our friends, Steve and Charlene, came to visit for a couple days! We showed them Portland as best we could in their short stay. We kept very busy at the local markets, art shows, live music, restaurants and shopping. Sadly we took them to the airport this afternoon and they headed back to Chicago. We had SUCH a great time and a wonderful visit. We tried our best to persuade them to move here and be our neighbors, but I think they love Chicago!
They recently got a new camera and took over 300 pictures during their visit with us. I wish I could share them all but here are some of our favorites... I LOVE the photos they took during their stay.
