Dan and I had a great trip this weekend to Portland with Mike and Karri Stoker. We left town around 1:00 on Friday, got to our hotel with enough time to get checked in and all dressed up for a fun evening. We had dinner at the Marina Fish House which is a floating restaurant there on the river. After dinner we were off to Phantom of the Opera. It was our first time seeing it live and it was awesome. I couldn't believe the vocal talent on stage. The songs are so hard, yet they all hit EVERY NOTE! And not just hit the notes. They killed it. The performance was really fun to watch, and I loved the theatrics and sets.
The next morning we went to the Portland Temple. We did a session there which is always a joy for us. We love that temple and have a ton of personal history there. I was endowed there and prior to the Tri Cities getting our own temple, we actually attended that temple very regularly. With friends in Portland we found it really fun and easy to justify going there instead of Seattle when the time came to go and serve.
On the way home from the temple, we hit an outlet mall and did some shopping. The Stokers ended up with a bag or two of something, but Dan and I left with only a smoothie. Fun Times none the less.
PHANTOM WEEKEND WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! Cant wait to do it again.
