Day 23 - (08/25) Portland, OR ... Day 9

Today was a day of family fun ... sailing and a group dinner.

The sailing part was delayed by light problems on Tim's boat trailer.  We got the left-turn and left brake light working reliably.  The right-turn and right brake light was intermittent.  We finally took off at about 1pm for an hour trip to Scoggins Valley Park/Henry Hagg Lake.  The lake is 25 miles southwest of Portland, at the base of Oregon's coastal range.

We returned from the lake an hour later than planned.  The Thanh Thao Restaurant was able to change our reservation when we called from the road.  

We ordered a wide selection of dishes and everyone sampled everything.  The servings were quite large, so guess what we're having for lunch tomorrow. 
The Orange Chicken was outstanding
Anna kept saying she was full, but kept on eating
Lucy & Kenny
Shirlene & Barbara
The dinner & camera brought lots of smiles

It was a weary group that returned home after a day in the sun and dinner ... still with stuff to do.  Tim & Elizabeth finished preparing for tomorrow's church services.  Carol finished the laundry.  Dick wrote documentation for Kenny's meter project.
