Portland, Here We Come!

Becky and I drove to Portland to try out for "America's Got Talent".
We had a wonderful time, learned that television "reality tv" is not real at all, (they would do "candid" interviews with the participants and tell them what to say, and record it over and over again until they said what they wanted them to say) and that I think Rebekah and I are probably not made for the competition--for the simple reason that when we perform we try very hard NOT to show off, but rather to be generous in our performance. I think we were a little bit too understated for their liking.

But! We had a wonderful time being with each other, and on the way back stopped by a beautiful area about an hour outside of Portland where they had a stunning waterfall and pretty good fudge that is highly over-priced (fudge takes approx. 8 min. and about 3 dollars to make for a pretty good sized batch, they were asking for 4 dollars a square) But, hey! We are on vacation! So I bought Ben a square for his souvenir (arn't all souvenir's overpriced anyway?).

I was so happy Rebekah could come down for the weekend and visit us. It was such a good time!
