So now where do we go? . . .

Hubby has been playing host to some guys that are here from Germany. They work for a company called INDEX that Leupold has purchased some machines for the shop. They are staying until all are hooked up and producing parts like they are suppose to, but in the mean time during their free time Dale and a couple of others from work are playing host to entertaining them. It's weird when you are showing out of town people places to visit as well as recommending different places to eat how you run out of ideas. Restaurants are easy, they aren't real particular about what type of food they eat (as long as it's not German they say. ha!), but we are running out of ideas for places to visit. Here are places they have been to in the last 6 weeks.

Coast - from Seaside to Newport
Saturday Market
Elk Refuge and Camp 18
Woodburn Outlet Mall
Blazer Game
Multnomah Falls and Bonneville Dam fish hatchery
Spirit Mountain Casino
Nike Employee Store
Washington Park (hiking)
Sturgeon Fishing on the Columbia
McMenamins - 4 different sites
Widmer Brewery
Helvetia Tavern
Shopping downtown Portland

Anyway, we are running out of ideas, isn't that bad and we even live here! So if you were entertaining out of town guests where would you take them?

Beaver Fever?
There are so many many things I could say about that phrase. It's far too easy.
