beautiful spring-like weather (updated)

The weather yesterday was beautiful! At the ungodly hour of 7:00 AM, Scott and I decided to drive some place high enough look over the heavy morning fog. We chose OHSU's Marquam Hill campus at the new (and notorious over-budget, $55M not $15.5M, because it has to look pretty) aerial tram. It was amazing to watch the fog flow down the Willamette valley. Even a OHSU worker who had finished his overnight shift said he had to come out and see the fog.

Here are some of our photos (mostly Scott's photos):

Later, Sheena joined us and we had our first bike ride of the year on the Springwater Corridor and tried out the new (and long-anticipated) bridges.

Yes, I thought it was a crazy idea too, until Scott made me go up there. What was really amazing was seeing clouds flow like a river over the city.
