Official "Spring is here!" thread

[MARIS61]

'bout time.

Looking forward to some early fishing this year since the snowpack isn't too bad, and some 3 day camping trips around the area every few weeks. Beach trip in May. Probably a 2-weeker out of state in September.

Anyone else got plans for fun?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

going to Italy in May. Rome then up to Venice. Going to Florence too and a few other stops.

I had a kickass time in Chicago this weekend. It was 80 degrees and sunny, just incredible. I want to go up and watch a cubs game some weekend, probably more in the summer.

Might try to fit Miami (doubtful though) and probably SF (likely) in there.


Going to try to work out more, be more hollistic. Going to try to eat better, start some of this Apple Cider Vinegar and coconut oil crap and try to bike at the beach more.

You lucky bastard. I studied abroad in Italy from September to December. Could go for some of that summer time weather right about now...

Don't think I'm taking any trips until summer to go camping and then step sister's wedding in Vegas, which I'm unbelievably stoked about, in October.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah. I love it there. Going with family (parents, bro, aunts and uncle) hiring a driver to take us around, one of the people going with us is handicapped and it will help to have us just dropped off and picked up. might be chaotic and not a lot of partying or anything, but good to spend quality time with the fam exploring the world.

Spring is here? It snowed in Portland this morning.

Eh, you can drink anywhere so just party on the go. It was a big adjustment for me coming back home and not just walking out the door with beer in my hand.

yeah, i've traveled with family before, its not the easiest logistically. we'll see. they just pack in so much touristy crap and I get all burnt out and tired, and I'm more into hanging out. my bro wants to drink up there. we'l see whats up.

Down here too.

 

[MARIS61]

Got 8" here last night.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

San Francisco/Napa at least once. LA/San Diego/Ventura at least once. Seattle in mid-June for the SF Giants visit to the Mariners.

Other than that, many weekends in Pacific City (at the family beach house). Lots of time in OR wine country, too.

Perhaps Germany, but we'll see - that's up in the air.

Maris also missed that memo, since he's 2 days early.

New York in April, Kauai in late May, glorious Oregon Coast in August, Redwoods (Crescent City) in September.

Where on the Oregon Coast?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Where on the Oregon Coast?

Lincoln City to Newport with a day trip to Cape Perpetua. I used to live in Lincoln City and work in Newport and I know some great areas.

Great areas. We spend a lot of time adventuring and hiking the areas between Newport and Tillamook. My dad has a cabin in Pacific City, so I've spent a lot of time exploring those years over the course of my life.

Cape Perpetua is pretty rad.

 

[Eastoff]

My dad was a cabin in Pacific City, so I've spent a lot of time exploring those years over the course of my life.

WHOA!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

WHOA!

What? I never told you guys that my dad was built like a house?

Nice catch, though. I don't take the time to read posts that closely while working.

Too much information, you pervert.

Lots of trips to Sunriver over the summer. Business trip to Shanghai in June. Maui October 20-27.

 

[MARIS61]

Yeah, as soon as I hit post I saw those replies coming.

My mom called this morning and said there were flurries in PDX. WTF is going on?

I'm sitting here on the east coast in toasty 80 deg weather. It's supposed to hit 90 on Friday.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It took people 4.5 hours to start those replies - plenty of time to edit.

We had a day or 2 in the low-60's here like 2 weeks ago, which was a few days before the PDX Metro area received it's heaviest snowfall of the year (a very Mags-like 1").

I abhor censorship of any kind. I only edit for spelling and punctuation.

I figured I'd let the children have their fun.

There's six inches in Albany with more dropping, there's apparently eight plus in Eugene.
