We took our students on a walking tour of the Central Eastside industrial area including City Liquidators, Next Adventure and Andy and Bax. One of the stores that we stopped into is called Cargo and it is an eclectic mix of different home furnishings and decor from around the world. Here are a few photos…
Dinner and a movie, of course!
Vinetopia, the restaurant inside the movie theater
Happy hour!
The happy hour was satisfying enough for our dinner; having a bag of popcorn didn't hurt either!
Saw this movie, the front runner for this month's Oscars awards. Yay for date night!
I love birthdays, especially when it is mine! Lisa and I visited Pietro’s Pirate Pizza yesterday to redeem my birthday reward, a perk for signing up for their loyalty program. It was the last day for me to use it and I sure am glad we went!
A free individual Pizza, soda pop, salad and...
Soft serve ice cream!
Friday night out with Jonas, Rene and John to check out the Dave and Busters at Clackamas Town Center
Jonas and Rene won this PacMan battle
Of course we had to do some basketball skills challenge
Afterwards we went for late night happy hour at Ram Brewery, and the restaurant manager showed off this ring, borrowed for a few days from his buddy who just happens to be NBA player Kevin Love's dad
Lisa and I both drive cars over 25 years old. So every so often, we check out new cars for What If possibilities. Here are the cars we liked.
Criteria…
– Good gas mileage
– Hatchback
– Back seats fold flat and Edwin can stretch out length wise and lay flat
– Good visibility out the back window and blind spots are manageable
– Bonus: heated seats, Bluetooth and USB ports
Our picks for the 2017 models…
Mazda CX3. We also liked the Mazda 3 but didn't see the hatchback model
Toyota Corolla iM
Chevy Sonic hatchback
Chevy Cruze hatchback
Honda Civic Sport Hatchback
We also liked the Toyota Prius C, which is probably our first choice because it is a hybrid.
One of these days we’ll make the plunge, but for now it was fun checking them all out in the comfort of all being under one roof with no sales people to hassle with. My top choice: the Prius C
