Yesterday was the first 80 degree
day in the Portland area
and it made for a great morning of baseball, but then as
soon as we were done
there, it was time to head to the coast! WHY? Because we had to take my
daughter to Newport for a Girl Scout event and we thought we would make
a night
of it.
So, the first thing I did was
look up my Activerain friend
Barbara Le Pine of Newport, Oregon
and make an Activerain meet-up out of it.
But, much to my surprise, she was playing with her Big Band that night
at the
Newport Middle School for a fundraiser for the High School Jazz band.

OK, for those of you who know me,
know I love big band and
would never miss an opportunity like this. So, we took the
kids to the concert
and it was so much fun and my youngest daughter even got me to dance
with her,
but also got me to dance with my wife for the first time since our
wedding. (At
7, she is pretty persuasive)
Here is a video of Barbara on the
Xylophone and I have to
say she is a darn dedicated agent who was almost late to the concert
because
she was writing a last minute offer. But, she made it and I’m glad she
did
because it was a lot of fun. The
best
part of the night for me was hearing my son tell my wife as we leave “Mom, you know, I really love that music, can we
download some of it on
to my MP3 player?”
So, if you are in Newport and want a
great real estate agent or you are looking for a night of good music
and fun
make sure you look up Barbara Le Pine on both counts, because she can
deliver
on both.

Sounds like you guys had a great family day! Good for you.... you will never regret the time spent with wife and kids!
