Day 56 – Portland, OR (Day 7)

It’s a nice, sunny, warm day.

About the Day
Elizabeth preached at Lincoln Street UMC and Tim preached at Montavilla UMC. Each got to their respective churches by bicycle.

In the afternoon Tim, Elizabeth, Jacob and Anna went swimming at a beach on the Columbia River.

We stayed home to work on dinner plans. We’re planning to get back on the road Wednesday. Today was the best day to have a family “goodbye” and “birthday” dinner because everyone is tied up with job commitments for the next two days. Carol arranged for the dinner and surprise celebration at Thanh Thao Restaurant.

We celebrated Barb's birthday (September 30th) and Elizabeth's upcoming birthday (October 19th) with two rounds of "Happy Birthday" and matching birthday cards that sang the "Hallelujah Chorus" with birthday words.
And of course, we ate cake!
