Father's Day in Portland

We went to Portland, OR for the weekend over Father's Day. We like to get out of town occasionally, hang out in a different city, go swimming, and have room service. What a treat!

On Sunday we went to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, OR. They have lots of planes but they're most famous for the Spruce Goose. It was a lot of fun to see all of the different aircraft. Here's Nate working the controls of a helicopter.
