We went to Portland on Thursday, the day after Christmas, to watch Katie's high school team play basketball. Katie had to ride over on the bus with her team. On the drive over we stopped at the Cascade Locks and crossed the Bridge of the God's over the Columbia River. It is the bridge you would cross when you are on the Pacific Crest Trail. When we got to Portland, we checked into our hotel and then went to dinner at a Vietnamese Restaurant. On Friday we got up and went to watch Katie's team play at Franklin High School at 9am. Katie played some awesome defense! After the game, Kirt, Garret, and I went to the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). It was super cool. We got to go inside a submarine, play lots of brain teaser games, go in a planetarium, and see a really cool special exhibit called Exquisite Creatures by Christopher Marley. We went to a really sketchy El Salvadorian restaurant that night, but it had really good food-our favorite pupusas. Saturday morning, Katie, Garret, and I went to the Nike Outlet store. Then Kirt, Garret, and I went to the Clackamas Mall. Kirt saw the movie Knives Out and Garret and I saw Jumangi 2. Then we hung out at the mall for the rest of the afternoon and played games and walked around the mall. We went to Chic-fil-A for dinner and then went to Katie's game. Katie's team came back from being down 33-9 in the first quarter to almost winning the game. They were up by 1 at the end of the 3rd quarter. After the game, we drove home. We didn't get home until 2am Sunday morning. The team had a game on Sunday, but Katie came home with us since she doesn't play on Sunday.
