Have I mentioned lately that I love Portland?

We had a perfect Portland day on Saturday. First, we went blueberry picking on Sauvie Island. Then we went to the Multnomah County Bike Fair: Unicyle jousting. Tall-bike jousting. (Confession: I have a thing for tall bikes. I have no idea why.) Chickens on tricked-out recumbent bikes. The kiddo was utterly transfixed for three hours, and the adults were thoroughly entertained too.

Want better pictures than what I managed to take, and some videos? (Including one that shows exactly why one should always wear a helmet while bicycle-chicken jousting. Especially if you’re the “chicken.”) Check them out here.

  1. So cool!

    We’ve already decided that Utopia is on our top 3 places to relocate if my joblessness (is that a word?) here leads to that. I’ve been there twice and already love it. The Green factor is a big draw for us.

    Wow! Thumper looks exactly like your husband all of a sudden! I’ve always thought he looks so much like you, but that picture…

    LMAO @ the chicken. 🙂

  5. I just moved to Portland in Febuary from the East side of the state and I have to say that I am loving it here more and more everyday.

    Looks like fun! I really need to plan a trip out west soon.

    I strongly suspect I went to school with some of those people.
    Or their parents.
