A Weekend Adventure in Portland












The four of us had a fabulous time visiting Tommy and Adrienne in Portland! Kaitlyn spent more than three weeks packing for the big trip (it's amazing what you need for four days!), and was super excited to show off her new bunny rain boots and pink daisy raincoat. Amazingly, we didn't need them much, as it was sunny for most of our trip...but there were still some great puddles for jumping in!

Highlights of the trip included the Portland Children's Museum, where the girls splashed in water and met the Tooth Fairy; the Portland Zoo, where we saw penguins and polar bears; and a hike to see three, massive waterfalls. If Kaitlyn should tell you that she went "hunting" in Portland, never fear--we weren't particularly successful at explaining the difference between taking in the flora and taking aim at the fauna! We also had some amazing meals: fair-worthy fries and burgers at Five Guys Burgers, a perfect greasy spoon breakfast at Skyline, gourmet fare at Iorio and Pix, and Adrienne's homemade guacamole. Yum!

Thanks for a great visit, Tommy and Adrienne!
