Day 7

First thing in the morning, Jeff was still thinking about his hole in one:


On our final full day of vacation, we plunged ourselves neck deep into Portland and visited the OMSI (the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry):


There, we partook in various science experiments. Here, Delaney is playing with pie plates and static electricity:


Tobias took a turn at the same experiment (or maybe he was just thinking about that amazing girl to whom he sent all of those post cards):


One of my favorites was the Aging Machine. It gave us all a horrifying peek into our futures:



After leaving the OMSI, we inadvertently took a little detour through Washington state (those freeways were difficult to maneuver, okay?), but we didn't regret it.


It enabled us to see the Columbia River Gorge from a Washingtonian's point of view.


We took the bridge near Cascade Locks back to Oregon and drove the Historic Columbia River Highway which took us past some gorgeous waterfalls.



...and that was Day 7.

I read all the posts of your vacation and must say that I'm insanely envious of the oregon art...i LOVE that drive up the 5 into from the border on up into Portland. Also jealous of the time you spent with my sis... :) are you serious about wanting to move? maybe just email the answer to that question. :)
