We're Back!

What a great time we had in Oregon. The girls were so excited to finally board a plane (about 24 hours after our first attempt!) But we made it without any problems. I took TONS of pictures so check back often during the next couple days to see new posts.

This is a silly picture of the girls watching tv in the hotel room our first morning.



Here's one view of Portland


The girls and I did some exploring of the city our first day...






We stumbled on a part of Portland called the Pearl District...very cool restaraunts and shops! We also found this neat park for kids. There is a fountain/wading/swimming area designed for kids to play in. It's really cool as the fountain part turns off and on every couple minutes. After about 10 minutes, the entire pool drains and then begins to fill with new, fresh water. There were TONS of young families there playing.





MT HOOD...
This mountain peak is the highest peak in the state of Oregon. We had amazing views of it the whole time we were there. We also had amazing views of Mt. St. Helens, but it seemed like we were always driving and by the time we could pull over, our opportunity was gone!
