Many Mushrooms at Tualatin Hills Nature Park

P1110294cStill bored with our neighborhood streets, I decided to go walk the trails at Tualatin Hills Nature Park.

They have 5 miles of mostly flat trails and a very nice restroom in the visitor's center. I ended up walking 3.75 miles in the north and southeast sections of the park.

Owl Hunting in Hart Woods

walking_route_8_dec_08I'd gotten a bit bored with the neighborhood streets, so I decided to explore Hart Woods and Brookhaven park again. In the past Sami and I had seen an owl in Hart Woods and I was hoping to see one again. The path through the park is not correct at all, I just threw some lines in the area to get an idea of mileage.

Riding the Aerial Tram

P1100929Sami and I went to take the birthing class at the OHSU Center for Women's Health yesterday. The class was good, but my favorite part - we got to ride the aerial tram from OHSU Kohler Pavillion to OHSU Center for Health & Healing so we could go to the cafe for lunch.

I have a few more pictures of the tram and Kohler pavilion back on my August 26th post.
