 Ni>> Years ago, I had heard Portland, OR had the highest number of adult

 Ga> Could be, not sure.  Just to clarify, my comment above was not about

I know.  :)  My brain just remembered that when you mentioned them.

 Ga> Forgot to mention before, this was something called

It still happens, every year.  I usually don't go though, as I'd rather avoid the crowds.

That's cool.  There are also riverboat cruises along the Willammette River in Portland, as well as along the Columbia (into the Hood River area, etc.), and I'd like to go on one of those some time..  They often include a meal on the boat.  I've never been on one of those.
