Portland Trip

The Beginning of August we took a little trip to Portland for a few days. We had such a great time and enjoyed getting away, but I don't think I would ever want to live in Portland. There was lots of great things to do though and we stayed pretty busy while we were there.

The best way to get around downtown is their light rail system, at first Lorelai wasn't too sure about this, but she quickly decided it was fun!

This is a view of Portland from their Aerial tram.

We spent some time at the Oregon museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), it was huge, Lorelai couldn't get enough!

Lorelai saw these lockers at OMSI and ran over and climbed right in then closed the door. We could have only played with the lockers and she would have been happy!

This stubborn little girl refused to ever look at the camera when I tried to take pictures!

A couple of hot weather forecasters!

One day we drove out to Cannon beach which was a little over an hour away and spent the day walking around all the little shops. It was such a cute little town. The amount of time we spent actually on the beach was about as long as it took to get a couple pictures because Lorelai hated the sand! She would not walk in it, needless to say we did not play on the beach.

This is pretty much what Reagan did the entire trip!

The first day we were there we went to the Children's Museum. Lorelai definitely loved it.

They had a bunch of different themed rooms. There was grocery shopping, a dig pit, a treehouse storytelling room, etc.

This room had a stage with tons of costumes and as you can see Lorelai was the director!

She really loved the train room.

They also had a water room, with tons of fun activities, Lorelai mostly just observed in this room!

Brushing the Alligator's teeth!

Here we are in the doctor's office, where she took care of babies and looked at x-rays!

On deck!

Also while we were there we visited the Japanese Gardens which were beautiful, but I left my camera in the car! We did tons of shopping while we were there because Portland has way better options than Boise! It was so great to be able to spend some time just the 4 of us away from all our usual daily demands! But as always we were happy to get home!
