OREGON MUSEUM SCIENCE INDUSTRIES

THIS WEEKEND OMSI WAS OFFERING FREE ADMISSION SPONSORED BY FRED MEYER AN OFFER ME AND NICHOLAS ANDERSON COULD NOT PASS UP.THIS MONTH THE SHOWCASE EXHIBIT WAS ON ALBERT EINSTEIN. IT COMPLETELY BLEW MY MIND BUT IT WAS VERY INTERESTING AT THE SAME TIME. THE REST OF THE TIME WE PLAYED MIND GAMES. SAW OUR SELVES IN 40 YEARS. TOURED THE LIFE OF AN EMBRYO. AND MUCH MUCH MORE. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FROM THE ADVENTURE.

FROM EUGENE TO SALEM

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID THAT I WAS WORKING FOR MY DAD THIS SUMMER? WELL WHEN I SAY WORKING IT REALLY MEANS BROCK MILLER COMING UP WITH RANDOM PROJECTS FOR US TO KEEP US BUSY. BUT THIS PROJECT WAS CRUCIAL FOR THE BUSINESS. MEGAN AND I WERE DELEGATED TO DRIVE TO EUGENE BY 2 PM AND DELIVER A LARGE BUISNESS PROPOSAL FOR A 2 MILLION PAGE SCANNING PROJECT. AT FIRST WE WERE HESITANT FOR EUGENE IS ABOUT 2 HOURS AWAY AND IT WAS ALREADY 11 PM.. BUT WE PERSEVERED AND GOT THE PROPOSAL IN THE HANDS OF DAVID BAR SOMETHING WITH 5 MINUTES TO SPARE. AFTER THIS SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS JONT MEGAN AND I DECIDED THAT WE DESERVED A LITTLE FREE TIME AND THOUGHT SINCE WE WERE ALREADY SO FAR FROM HOME THAT WE WOULD VISIT THE OREGON STATE CAPITL ON OUR WAY BACK. CHECK IT OUT.

FUGITIVE BEACH RETREAT

THE ANDERSON AND MILLER SISTERS HAVE DREAMED TO SPEND A WEEKEND TOGETHER AT THE BEACH HOUSE FOR 5 YEARS NOW AND ONCE WE GOT THE SLIGHT OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO WE PACKED UP AND LEFT RIGHT AWAY FOR A WEEKEND OF SEASIDE FUN.

WE VISITED CANNON BEACH, BOUGHT PASTRIES AND HAD LUNCH AND MO'S THE FAMOUS FAMILY CHOWDER PLACE. 

GAZED AT HAYSTACK ROCK- LANDMARK MADE FAMOUS BY "THE GOONIES"

WE PLAYED ON THE BEACH

HAD A CRAZY DANCE PARTY INITIATED BY THE EARLY MORNING PASTRIES

ATE BREAKFAST AT OUR FAVORITE- PIG N' PAN

VISITED THE HAT STORE

BOUGHT MATCHING SWEATSHIRTS

AND VISITED THE CANDY MAN MORE THAN ONCE OVER THE WEEKEND

"SATURDAY IN THE PARK"

SUMMER TIME JUST WOULDN'T BE SUMMER IN OREGON WITHOUT A DAY AT SATURDAYS MARKET. WITH A LITTLE OREGON WEIRD THIS PLACE NEVER DISAPPOINTS.

FIRST OFF JACK AND I FOUND PERFECT WINTER HATS FOR THE BELOW FREEZING WINTERS IN IDAHO AND UTAH

THE ENTERTAINMENT WAS MOST ENJOYABLE WITH DRUMMER CAN MAN

AND RANDOM BAND STAND

LIKE ALWAYS PORTLAND OREGON DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THE SUN WAS SHINING WE MET INTERESTING CHARACTERS ON THE MAX AND HAD SOME EXPERIENCES AND EMBLEMS TO MAKE LONG LASTING MEMORIES FOR A LIFETIME.

FLYING PIES

I BELIEVE ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE THINGS WE HAVE COME UP WITH THIS SUMMER IS OUR PIZZA MAKING CONTEST. FOUR TEAMS WITH 5 DIFFERENT PIZZA'S.. WE HAD A DELICIOUS MEXICAN, ALFREDO DELIGHT, RAVIOLI, AND CLASSIC PEP. DEFINATELY THE MOST DELICIOUS IDEA OF THE SUMMER. WE HAD A BLAST! I WILL DEFIANTELY BRING THIS ACTIVITY TO SCHOOL WITH ME NEXT YEAR.
