Weekend Fun

Last weekend was pretty eventful for us. Johnathan (Jack) was finishing up his spring break and I took Friday off. We had tickets to the Blazers v. Suns game and decided to spend the night in Portland. The game was an important playoff determining meeting and the atmosphere was crazy. Jack is a long time Suns fan and I share his like for the team. We've made sure to see them wherever we've lived. When the Hornets played in OKC we watched the Suns. We even traveled to see them when they played in Dallas. So, Jack was no too happy when I declared, "I am going to be a Blazers fan tonight." I have dutifully worn purple and orange to every game, before the Suns traded away the players I liked, switched coaches and 'hired' Shaq. We came to Oregon at a great time for the Blazers, a rebuilding time of forging a new positive image. Both of us have been thrilled to be close to a NBA team. The exciting, youthful Blazers are so fun to watch and I have really gotten to be familiar with the players. You can look up the outcome of the game. Let's just say that one of us was happy.


After the game we spent a wonderful night at the Governor Hotel. We woke up next morning an leisurely strolled downstairs to Jake's for breakfast. We had a window table that was perfect for people watching. We ate our fill (it was really good!) and spent some time reading the paper. We stopped in an visited Dawn at her building downtown. The rest of the day was filled with an alwasys pleasing Powell's trip, a streetcar ride, a jaunt down 23rd, and gelato. I bought a felt hat at the Dapper Cap. What do you think?

We finished off the day by watching Oklahoma beat Syracuse. What a grand day! Those of you who are following the NCAA tourney know that OU then lost on Sunday. The OU women are still going strong though!! Final Four bound!
