26th Street Sentiments: Colorado Reunion

Hi everybody...

Breaking news**** It's 107 degrees in Portland today! Talk about record breaking temperatures this year. We get the coldest in 50 years and the hottest in something like 14 years... makes for pretty exciting news.... and a hot hot apartment. It's been quite a while since I've experienced that "can't blow-dry-my-hair,can't-put-make-up-on" type morning. Anyway, because Wes and I don't have an AC we new we would try and escape the heat today by going somewhere else. After much discussion we decided to go to.....................

EDGEFIELD duh-duh-duh-duh! (wish I could record sound)

Basically, edgefield is my favorite Mcmenamins I've seen yet. It has everything: miniature golf, movie theater, swimming pool, Ruby's Spa, picnic tables, twinkly lights, tons of little bars, and restaurant areas, AMAZING bathrooms (each "Stall" has it's own shower, toilet and sink + living room at the entry), the best rootbeer around, and of course the unique art work that all Mcmenamin's have to offer. *sigh* wish you could be here to see. (sidenote: the hottest spot for a wedding around)

But as I was saying... we decided to go to Edgefield today to see a $3 movie and hang out in an air conditioned room to write blogs. So, here I am finally delivering some pictures and stories to you. The point of today's blog: Our Colorado Reunion! It's about time, I know. For any of you who didn't know, Wes and I went with my side of the family about 3-4 weeks ago to CO for a reunion. I think this is the 4th CO reunion my family has every had (correct me if I'm wrong!) and we had a blast. I think it was the most people we have ever had under one roof, considering now that 3 of us "kids" have spouses. There is of course no better way to tell the stories and document the trip than to share the pictures. So, enjoy!

The View...
