Zach and Vera Come to Portlandia

Zach and Very flew up from Los Angeles last weekend for Vera’s family reunion in Oregon City.  I was fortunate enough to have their time on Friday before the reunion kicked off.  We went to Powell’s and Dechutes Brewpub in the morning before heading up to the Rose and Japanese Gardens in the afternoon.

Koi being fed.

This man banged a stick on the rock next to the water to call the fish.  Fish from the very far end of the pond came swimming as fast as they could to get an afternoon snack.

 

 

Hopefully it won’t be another year before I see Zach and Vera again.  Come on, guys!  Get up here for a full three-day weekend with me!
