Boating on the Willamette

The Moomba
Our good friends, John and Haley, recently purchased a new boat and they invited us to be the first to test it out. It was also Haley's birthday this weekend so we made sure to celebrate out on the river. We spent the day floating, tubing and lying in the sun. It was gorgeous weather and it was very cool to see downtown Portland from a different view. We also thought it was pretty incredible our house was walking distance to where we were on the water.

Haley and Nik were the only two to tube. She was the marathon tuber, holding on for dear life while John tried to knock her off. There were a lot of boats out, so we had to be very careful when one of us was in the water. These Portlanders love their sunny days, so on days like this everyone was out and about.

Sun, tubing, and beer..nice work! Must be a different experience in the city.

Nothing is better than Portland in the sun, unless it's in the sun in the water. What fun!
