Washington and Apples (but not Washington apples)

Last week I spent three days in Vancouver, Washington on a business trip. It was a good trip, and I learned a few things. Did you know that you can't pump your own gas in the state of Oregon? I flew into Portland, Oregon and the rental car guy informed me that all gas stations are full service in Oregon. I guess it's a state law. I also learned that first class is really nice. My brother-in-law Jonah was able to get me an upgrade to first class from Minneapolis to Portland. Here are some things I learned in first class.
-The seats are really big, and there's a lot of leg room. There's no way you can even come close to touching the person next to you.
-You can drink the bottled water, and they don't charge you. I wasn't sure if it was like in a hotel room where they charge you $5 for the bottled water in your room.
-The hot towels they give you are really very hot. I had to watch others to see what you're supposed to do with them.
-Delta makes a great chocolate cheesecake.

On Friday, Cari took three of the kids to an apple orchard (Josiah was sick so I stayed home with him). They had a really good time and they were able to get a lot of apples for a great price. Pics below.
