Well, it wasn't actually much of a road trip, but we did want to take my new car, Holly, out for a spin. We picked up Nathan on our way to Gresham. I hadn't explored downtown Gresham before. We were looking for a restaurant with outdoor seating. We ate at Nicholas Lebanese.
I should have taken a picture right away. It was puffed up twice this size. It was good food.
Some cool art
Then we checked out the Japanese Garden and the city park.
Then we drove to the Leach Botanical Garden. It had some interesting benches.
Some early flowers
Then we drove home. I drove out and then George drove back. It was his first chance of driving my car. It used the electric feature (EV) the whole way there and then part of the way home before it switched to gas (HEV). There are some little things we have been learning about the car. George has spent some time researching little things. Like, why couldn't we get sound with the navigation system? He fixed that, once we got home.
PS. Cider is growing
Who knew Gresham was so full of things to see and good food to eat? Sounds like a fun destination for a Sunday drive in your new eco friendly car!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting "art benches" - were you allowed to sit on them? Must be nice weather for you to eat outside!
