One day last week when Hanna came home from school after Cross Country practice, she told us they had gone to the "highest point in Portland" to run some of the trails there. She talked about a large compass on the ground, from which you could see all four volcanos, Mt Ranier, Mt St. Helens, and Mt Adams in Washington, and Mt Hood east of Portland.
Jen, Ian, and Emily went home today, Friday the 24, so on the way to PDX, we went to Council Crest Park, which I discovered is the highest place in Portland (1,040 feet) and where Hanna's XC team went last week. We could, indeed, see all four volcanos. It's not easy to see, but Mt Hood is in the center of the landscape photo and above Emily in the group photos. From here we went on to PDX and the Robertsons flew home on Alaska/Horizon Flight 2533 at 3:50 PM to the Fresno Airport.
We really enypyed the Robertsons visit. The next time we see them, there will be a new little Robertson grand daughter, who is due in late February/early March 2009.
