Weekend in Portland

So a few weekends ago, right after Buns ended his last term, we went to Portland for their annual Rose Festival and also to the OMSI museum. It was a blast!

The first thing we did was go see the Coast Guard ships in the Fleet show.

Did you guys know that ships can have awards and badges? This one had quite a few!

This one was similar (although smaller than) the one that Buns was on for several months. They would pull out and repair/replace this HUGE things. Really dangerous if a person got caught under one of these.

The tour did not allow anyone on the bridge, but after Buns asked why I told the nice man that Buns is ex-military and the next thing we knew, we were on the bridge! Nice controllers right?! Way to many things for me to screw up in that place.

Next we went to the OMSI museum! It was like being a kid again!

We had tons of fun! I am so glad we brought our camera. More stories and pictures to come!
