Day 8

On the morning of our final day, we set out to find Mt. Tabor, a park that Elisabeth recommended to us. It was a great place to kill the hour and a half we had before going to the airport at 11:30 am. From the top of Mt. Tabor, we had a beautiful view of Portland:


We also found a statue of the all important Harvey Scott (whomever he is), whom we mocked mercilessly:


Soon it was time to drive to the airport and say goodbye to our lovely little Vibe.

Once we were on the airplane, Delaney got a case of the giggles caused by the invasive nature of this foot which crept its way out of its own designated area and into Delaney's.


(Over the two hour journey, it edged its way ever closer to Delaney from behind.)

Tobias snapped this terrific shot of Mt. Hood from his window seat:


Once we were back on the ground, we fought our way through a bit of traffic and had dinner at a place that Jeff has wanted to take us to for several months now. They serve, according to him, the best fish tacos in the world. (I must confess that they were delicious, but I could feel my thighs thickening once we were back in the car due to all the grease I had just ingested.) Jeff said that that was the best meal he had on the entire vacation!


Back home, we found that both dogs were safe, sound and happy to see us.


...and that was our entire vacation.
