Eventually, after many hours, we decided it was about time to head to the airport. Our decision was greatly facilitated by our level of inebriation as well as by the sad realization that we were out of beer. "But wait!" we said to ourselves, somehow managing to slur both words. "They'll probably have beer at the airport!"

So off we headed, in the grey gloom that comprises the vast majority of Oregon's weather. View for yourselves the lovely day that saw us off. Who could ever want to leave such a beautiful sky? What was that about it being the color of a television tuned to a dead channel? Ah well, we had more important things to do than hang around outside staring at a thick cotton sky blanket.

Namely, we needed to find some more beer, because our buzzes were desperately attempting to wear off. As it happened, we still had tons of time to wait before boarding our plane, so we wandered around the airport in search of a place to park ourselves for some further liquid refreshment. Success!

Happy hour! All day Saturday! Yay Super Saturday! We settled in for some serious pre-flight drinkering. Pints all the way, baby! Memories of this point in time are somewhat blurry, oddly enough, but I'm pretty sure there were successive rounds at the airport bar. I'm not actually certain how we managed to get on the plane intact and on time. Maybe we didn't!
