Best Trip Ever!

Note to readers: This is a very long post!

Last week we went to Portland and it was so much fun! I have to say it was one of my favorite trips we have ever been on. It wasn't one of those trips where you go and go and go and come back to your hotel exhausted. We did a ton of stuff but we did it at a leisurely pace. Here is a quick run down of our trip:

On our way to Portland we stopped at Multnomah and Horse Tail Falls. Our first day we went to the Children's Museum, which Tommy and Addie loved! We also went to the International Rose Test Garden and then finished the day in downtown Portland. We went to one of my favorite stores, Finnegan's Toy Store, and we searched for a fabric store that we had been to before but it no longer exists. We also strolled the streets of the Nobhill and Pearl districts. Our second day we went to the Evergreen Aviation and Aerospace Museum to see the Spruce Goose then we drove to Vancouver, WA to have lunch with our friends Cody and Tenille (stupid me didn't even take a pic). Then Tommy let me spend all the time I wanted in The Fabric Depot, which a huge fabric store. The night we had dinner with our other friends Tom and Rosie at a really cute and romantic italian resturaunt. Oour third day we drove to the coast and explored Oceanside and Cannon Beach and ate at the is little place called the Big Wave Which had really yummy food. On our way home, Tommy stopped at Hilsboro Aviation to talk to them about getting a job. Our last day, we thought we would relax so we went to an awesone greek place for lunch, got yummy VooDoo doughnuts, took a nap, and swam in the pool. For our last dinner we went to a district called Resturaunt Row where we had the best gourmet pizza ever at Ken's Artisan Pizza! On our way home from Portland, we stopped at another museum dedicated to vintage airplanes and cars and they all still run! All in all it was a very fun trip and I was happy that Tommy got to go do some things he loves! Here is a ton of pictures from our awesome week!
