Keep Portland Weird...

There is a bumper sticker out there that says simply "Keep Portland Weird." It took us two years to go downtown to the riverwalk, but after an afternoon jaunt I now "get" that bumper sticker.....Portland is just.....out there. Really, really far out there. I will not be owning one of those bumper stickers anytime soon, but I get it now.

The bridge going up and down.
The view from the otherside.


Love this picture!

And this one. These are my little peeps watching the Portland Peeps.



First we walked around the bridge circuit AND THEN saw the glaring rent a bike sign and HAD to do that to. It was so much fun. And will be on our list of things to take people to do when they come and visit.






We ended the day sidestepping past a man yelling at himself and hitting his head straight into VOO-DOO doughnuts where I turned my nose up at the maple bar with bacon down the middle for a Portland Cream. The only reason we did this was because it was the shortest line we had ever seen come out of there.....there were only 7 people ahead of me. Crazy store, crazy doughnuts, crazy people. I came home and showered, but we had a great time.
More to come about our heavenly visit from G & G G!

Well, speaking of beautiful kids...take a look at your own. I feel like I haven't seen you forever when I see how much Harry has grown. You made me really want to return to the city of Portland because when we went, Ryan and I had no idea what to do there besides Nike.

We loved it down there! Very fun! We'll have to rent bikes next time. Did Bella get a haircut and did you do a perm? I miss you!
