What a great couple of days I just had! My family and I flew to Portland on Thursday night to support my brother BJ in his robot competition. Their first day of competition was a bit rocky, but they worked out all the kinks, and made a huge comeback yesterday. Their robot rocked! Their alliance (BJ's robot plus robots from 2 other schools) ended up making it to the semi-finals. They're off to California in April to try their luck again at making it to Nationals - good luck BJ!
Our Portland trip ended up being kind of a mini family reunion. My Aunt Kathy, Uncle Steve and Aunt Dena, and my cousins Ashlynn and Abby traveled down to Portland to cheer BJ on and visit with us. I had only met Ashlynn once and hadn't met Abby yet, so their visit was especially fun. On Friday night, Steve took us all out to dinner at McCormick & Schmick's - a fabulous steak and seafood restaurant. I had some delicious salmon topped with crab and basil butter... soooo yummy - thanks Steve!And of course, it was fun to see Mandi, TJ, and my cute niece Hailey :-) Thanks for making the trip down from Moscow!

How fun to see so much family! We're going to Portland during Spring Break. Any fun things you recommend to do there?
That looks like such a fun trip - congrats to BJ! I'm sure would've loved to see a REAL robot! Hailey is adorable!
Sounds like you had such a great trip...there's nothing better than family!
Hailey is cute. I like to see you with her. I bet your parents love the grandparenting role, even at a distance.
Kim, I've just read through your last couple of blogs and feel like I've had a good read. Thanks for sharing. I love what you do and how you do it.
