Portland/Hood to Coast Relay




Ryan was invited to do the Hood to Coast Relay at the last minute last month.  We picked up and headed out of town to the beautiful state of Oregon.  We were able to visit with some friends that we hadn't seen in 4 years (thanks again Jim and Mel!!), see the sites of Portland, the kids tasted (and didn't like) cotton candy, and Ryan enjoyed running and meeting and getting to know other runners.  This relay is one where there are 12 members to a team that each take different "legs" to run and then take turns between the runners with each leg.  Your team runs for at least 24 hours with little sleep, but apparently this is fun!  Ryan had a lot of fun doing it and would love to do something like it again.  On our way home, we stopped at Multnomah Falls.  It was beautiful!  We tried to get to the top of the falls, but after walking up the mountain for a mile, the kids were done.  Maybe some day we will finish the hike!  Portland is beautiful though and Ryan and I would love to visit it again.
