Oh Top of Mt Hood

Josh's sister came to visit us last weekend. We had so much fun having her here. We were able to hit up some of our favorite places one last time like Laurelwood, Porque No? and The Waffle Window.

On Saturday we took Kristi somewhere we had never been before. We headed up Mt. Hood to have brunch at Timberline Lodge.

For one thing it was the best buffet I have ever had! Also Timberline Lodge was so cool. It was pretty cold and rainy up there but the scenery was amazing. I'm still wondering why we waited so long to take a trip to the mountain.

River Walk

Between me going back to work and it being our anniversary weekend we were all in need of a family day. We hopped on the MAX and headed downtown for a walk around the Willamette.

It was such a beautiful day!!!! After our trip around the River Walk we stopped and got ice cream cones.

We also manage to find some time to just sit, relax and people watch by the river.

It was fun to take time and enjoy each other and the city we live in!

Planning a Family Day Trip

Today is the 30th anniversary of the Mt. St. Helens eruption. This will be our 3rd summer living in Portland and we have yet made a trip up to Mt. St. Helens. In honor of the anniversary I am planning a trip to Mt. St. Helens this summer. I haven't set a date yet but I'll be sure to let you know all about it as soon as I do.

Picnic at Mt Tabor

We took Piper on her first picnic today. We are so fortunate to have so many beautiful parks here in Portland so that means so many wonderful places to picnic. Today was gorgeous so we headed to Mt Tabor. We had a fun day and she was such a good little girl. We even made time for ice cream on Hawthorn st.

Just one of the many reasons bulldogs are the coolest dogs in the world.

All worn out from her first picnic.
