I made it!!

I made it to Portland! Dad and I set out on Sunday and made it here early Tuesday morning. We had a pretty good trip- long, but good. We took the "scenic route" thru Salt Lake, Boise and followed the river into Portland.
My apartment is better than I thought. My bedroom alone is bigger than my whole apartment in foco, it seems like it at least. Everything is new too, it was all gutted and remodeled, so everything is shiny and new. My roommate moves in on June 6th, so I have a few weeks to myself before I meet her.
Dad and I spent a few days exploring Oregon before he left this morning. We took a day and went to the Coast- it was rainy and cold, but still cool. We accidentally found the Evergreen Air and Space Museum and decided to stop on our way back. It was really cool and the highlight of the day. Howard Hughes' giant plane the Spruce Goose was there and it was incredible. The pictures don't do it justice- the thing is absolutely enormous!
We also spent a day and ventured into downtown Portland. The light rail stops about a mile from my apartment and we took it into downtown and can even make it out to the airport without getting off. It's pretty nice!
We also went to IKEA! I got some stuff for my apartment and we wondered around for almost 3 hours. I think Dad liked shopping- don't tell Mom!
I start my internship on Monday- eeek! I'm excited and nervous too. It should be a good experience, even if I hate it.
Well, I better go do some more exploring! Miss you all and hope everyone's swell!
