For Susan's birthday we spent a couple of nights up at the Disney Resort on Hilton Head. Bryan and Jenn came with us, so we got a two bedroom villa. We swam a bit and drove around downtown Bluffton, and ate at the Salty Dog at the Outlets, but mostly just relaxed in our villa.
Last year, Buc-ee's opened stores off I-95 in St Augustine and Daytona, so of course we stopped at one on our way there and another on the way back. We also visited several book stores on the way and in the Hilton Head area.
This Thursday Susan, Bryan, and I flew back to Portland to attend a memorial service for a friend. We were dismayed to see how much the city had deteriorated, with tents all over the sidewalks downtown and along the freeways, and plywood covering up many of the windows of the buildings downtown.
While it was a somber weekend, we did enjoy hitting some of our favorite places to eat while we were there. We had some Pietro's Pizza and a dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory, and we stopped by a new Voodoo Doughnut in Oak Grove, south of Milwaukie. We flew home this morning.
