Graduation Weekend – Sunday

Vacating the Dorm

Marina left last night, so the rest of us redezvous with Ivi to clear out her dorm room and load the van.  Somehow, miraculously, it all fits inside, but we still have a big shopping stop to make at Trader Joe’s.

 

 

Shandong

Lunch finds us at Shandong in the Hollywood District (3724 NE Broadway St, Portland, OR 97232 — this is an address you will want to know).  Outstanding meal; easily worth a future visit.  

Leaving Town

Ivi takes the helm.  Incredibly, we also load three Trader Joe shopping bags full of goodies into the overstuffed vehicle. We cruise past some familiar Portland sights and hit the road.

 

 

Return Trip

Ivi insists on driving the distance, but time passes quickly, playing games invented by Nik and just talking.  Windshield photography again comes into play.  We arrive well before dark.
