Farmer's Market!! That's a highlight of my Saturday. There's so much great produce. And tons more things (meats, seafood, eggs, dairy, sweets, breads) that we don't even indulge in. Plus the playground and swings that Jacob loves so much. Live music. Very fun.
I made Jacob a sandwich for lunch and cut it into a heart. He says, "Aww... a heart. That means you love me." :)
Fraser and I got to go out tonight too! His work gave their employees gift cards to some nice restaurants. We got a babysitter for 4 o' clock! It felt like a vacation day. He really likes our babysitter, too, which is great.
We went to Portland City Grill, a restaurant on the 30th floor of a building, giving you great views of the city, river and surrounding countryside. We got to look out of Mt. Hood. Very clear day too. The food was delicious - as were the drinks. Fraser ordered rack of lamb and I got Dungeness crab stuffed halibut. Whoa. Delishy! Fraser's lamb was slightly more cooked than he'd ordered it but when they asked if they could make him a new one, he said no, it still tastes very good. However, a manager still came out to apologize, our waitress apologized every time she came to check on us and they gave us our dessert course free!!! I thought they just meant dessert but we got a dessert (which was an amazing chocolate cake with toffee and pudding and sauce) and port and Scotch. They took care of all of it! We were amazed but then, it is a high end restaurant. Very good customer service on their part.
We also went to a movie afterward. Harry Potter. Again. It was still great. Maybe not quite as suspenseful but still really great. Sigh... I can't believe this is it. What a saga. I will be enjoying these stories and movies for years to come.
