Portland Oregon 2019

January 11th, 2021 in Uncategorized

On the way to our next destination we did make a stop to do some berry picking. Why is picking produce so darn fun and relaxing? Who knows BUT IT IS!

After Seaside we headed to the last leg of our trip…Portland. It is where my brother Jonathan and his fantastic wife Calley live and it is a city I’ve always wanted to go to as well.

We rented a dreamy treehouse to stay in that had just the coolest architecture and decor to it.

On the first day we gave everyone a break from us and the girls and I just went alone to the Japanese Gardens.

That night we went with everyone on a “Witches Hike” in Forest Hike and learned that Jonathan can cackle better than any princess villan.

The next day we went to OMSI Museum which is a stellar museum for kids and adults!

Portland’s Farmers Market was a treat to walk around and I am sure I left with many vinegars, salsas, honey, and jam to bring home. I always do!

At the market we found a mural wall to take group pictures against…or TRIED TO.

One of the favorite things about traveling with uncles is that they know how to play the games you like to play online at night!

Fun memories were also made at the park and just being goofy.

PORTLAND IS THE TOWN OF DONUTS! And no VooDoo donuts is not the best one, although the designs are fun. But if you don’t go to the other famous donut shops you are missing out; Blue Star and _____ were favorites of ours.

A day of shopping with Aunt Calley was perfect on one of the days and we found a really cool leather shop as well as a rainbow cat unicorn for Reagan.

We all agreed our favorite activity was a boat ride that I thought would just show us around Portland and the famous falls nearby. LITTLE DID I KNOW it was an oversized speedboat where he tries to make you feel like you are about to be flipped the entire time and that you are drenched at the end of. Oh my goodness it was hilarious and so freaking fun.

Cameron surprisingly was the one that had the most fun and loved getting as drenched as she could! We did still really did see some cool parts of Portland on the crazy ride though!

For our last night we went to the movies and saw a too spooky movie that I had to walk out of with the littles. Ha, that’s okay the rest got a good spook out of it.

Wow we were gone for a long time but really loved being with people who love us after a really lonely year in South Carolina.
