With the addition of StarLink we’ve been able to work from the cottage, which has meant that we can also stay for longer stretches. This trip was two full weekends, bookended around the week of work.

The game was great, we had some fun in Portland, got out to our favorite winery, and took the long way home along the coast. Our friend Stuart came down for the game as well, and we had a great weekend!
