Business in Oregon

Cameron decided at the last minute to go on a business trip to Oregon last weekend and invited me along. Luckily, Gigi agreed to watch our kids so I could go. We drove down and stopped at 2 outlet malls in Oregon (no tax so everything to me is additional 8.3% off in my book). I found a lot of good buys and had the most fun that day. Plus we ate a late lunch at the Claim Jumper. It was so peaceful being just the 2 of us for the long drive down to Eugene, Oregon. The irrigation company that Cameron was going down to meet with put us up at the Hilton there and we had a comfy bed. While Cameron was in meetings I spent time beautifying all morning and reading in the afternoon after going to lunch with business conference with him. That night we went to dinner a few blocks down from the hotel with the company. We left the next day after another meeting and made the long drive home. Like many couples I know - we had some miscommunication on the drive home. I said I wanted to stop at Chevy's at the Clackamus mall on the way home for lunch. He said - really. I said no but somewhere there. He thought I meant I didn't want to eat lunch in Portland and drove on by!! By the time I starting paying attention (I was reading and checking blogs on my blackberry) we had long since passed that exit and I was starving. Sadly we finally stopped in Hood River at Quizno's. Not that it's bad but not what I wanted. I can go there anytime - we have plenty of Quizno's in our area. Next time I am going to be very specific about my wants so there will be no more misunderstandings.

The only pictures I took were the view from our hotel room. Very green and beautiful there although I saw very little of the city. I should have taken pictures of my purchases. My favorites are a cream sweater from the GAP and black peeptoe heels from factory brand shoes.
