Forest Grove, OR - Jun 8 to 26

We are parked alongside Mary's daughter Shelly's house in Forest Grove, OR.

The house comes with a pretty fancy shelter for the RV

And we installed our own pretty fancy Sun Screen to block the late afternoon sun.
It doesn't get dark up here until well after 9pm.

Dennis and Gloria Brousseau visit from Phoenix and help us enjoy the amazing back yard Raspberry bush.

Talk about getting into the Raspberries!

We go on a really nice Wine tasting excursion with Dennis & Gloria.  As a vineyard owner Dennis brings these visits to a whole new level.
The Willamette Valley is loaded with wineries and Dennis wants to learn more about Bio-Dynamic viticulture.
The Maysara and Montinore wineries are a real treat.

The next day we visit Portland's Hoyt Arboretum to get out in the really big trees.

And tour the Japanese Garden

We spend quite a bit of time just enjoying Shelly's beautiful back yard.

This is view we get from the inside of the trailer.

That's the Raspberry bush behind the ladder.

And I guess we can't forget the dinner outside at Pat's Corner at the nearby McMenamin's Grand Lodge.
