Tall Boys, Sunshine and Cheese

April 24, 2011 by kristikrass

Happy Easter! It’s a rainy, Portland-y day, but boy, did we ever have some gorgeous weather the past couple days: sunny and high 60’s/low 70’s. My sister Michelle (Shelly) is in town until Tuesday, and she started with a false impression of normal weather here. Today, it was back to reality, although the rain hasn’t stopped us from plowing through tons of fun activities. On Friday, we got a double dose of visitors, when my old high school buddy Stephanie […]

April 17, 2011 by kristikrass

Jeff, Cooper and I have been doing a mishmash of fun stuff lately. With a lull in the stream of visitors – which ends this Thursday when Shelly arrives – we’ve just been bopping around experiencing bits and pieces of the city.

One hour west is the gorgeous coast of the Pacific Ocean. How cool is that? With Jeff’s brother Rob and his wife Amy in town this past weekend, we conquered them both. As an aside, there is a wicked cool relay race actually called, “Hood to Coast,” and […]

Parks and Wrecked Legs

February 13, 2011 by kristikrass

We mixed a painful cocktail of activities yesterday. A P90X Plyometrics workout video + lots of walking to and through parks = PAIN. Jeff and I are now walking around like Frankensteins. I don’t know if I’ve experienced soreness like this. All I want is a hot tub (I’m jealous of you right now, Nena and Court). First, on the P90X thing – we were delighted to recently get the DVD set as a gift. The holidays and the move […]
