Hotel Portland (not Rwanda)

So things were busy around here this weekend. Rachel came to town on Thursday. She slept in the guest room while Drew camped out in the office on the air mattress. He left for Seattle on Friday afternoon and Rachel, Lisa and I went for sushi at Saburo (an awesome sushi restaurant). We stuffed ourselves then went home and crashed.

Saturday came and we ate donuts from Voodoo Donut that Lisa and Rachel picked up the day before. Lounged around for a while and finished the installation of the undercabinet lighting in the kitchen. Rachel left for Seattle that afternoon. So Lisa and I had the place all to ourselves. With seemingly so many people milling around, it was like an empty hotel.

Sunday Lisa and I installed new lattice below the back deck to hide all of the crushed rock and other crap the accumulates under a deck or porch. It looks awesome.

Then Monday comes around and Rachel shows up from Seattle and decides to stay the night. Good move considering it was raining and a drive from Portland to SF in this weather would just suck. So, now that Drew was back in town from being in Seattle for the weekend as well, we were back to our Thursday night accomodations.

So we were all standing around not knowing what we wanted to do so we went to see "Hotel Rwanda" and the local brew and view. Very good flick. Somewhat emotionally draining, but very very good. I suggest if you have the opportunity, go see it.

So our weekend was sort of like Hotel Rwanda.....minus the mess and fuss of genocide, civil war, UN peacekeepers, Hutus and Tutsis.
