As mentioned in the previous post about George's unplanned adventure, Helga and Wolfgang were here. They arrived on Thursday evening when I was still at DAMOP and spent Friday not quite as planned. But from there on, it was smooth sailing!
Saturday we went to the Beaverton Farmer's Market to get some fresh veggies and berries. It was still a bit too early in the season for blueberries, but the strawberries were amazing! We ended the evening on a calm note with BBQ in the yard.
Sunday we went to Neskowin for a day at the beach. Helga got comfortable with a good book near Proposal Rock, while Wolfgang joined Jan, Pepper, and me for a nice 2 hour walk on the beach. Always fun!
After a light snack at the Hawk Creek Cafe we headed back home. Since it was still a bit too early we decided to directly drive back to Wilsonville instead of stopping in Salem for dinner at a great Italian place there. So, without the Italian option, we spontaneously decided to give the best burger in Wilsonville a try (WOW! Burgers). And the burgers were really good (including gluten free option for me :)).
Monday meant work for me (it was my first day of summer research with my four students. Couldn't miss that!), so Jan took his parents up to Portland for some good coffee at Sterling.
Afterwards they drove to Pittock Mansion.
And last but not least, when I got home dinner was ready! Which was great since I was pretty tired. BBQ with salmon. YUM!
