The Story Of Us

Late July we took a summer trip to the Pacific Northwest area of America.. which consists of Oregon and Washington. M wasn't 100% convinced this was going to be a trip worth taking.. but by day two he was convinced.. it was such an amazing trip. It was an 11 day trip and we started it by flying into Portland. In the initial itinerary we were going to be spending a night in Portland but after a few revisions we ended up with just a few hours in Portland. We took an early morning flight and thanks to the time difference we arrived there in the early afternoon. This was our first time flying with Alaska Air, not bad.. no complaints. We picked up our rental and with our stomachs grumbling we headed to our first stop, Alder Food Carts. This was mainly a large parking lot lined with food carts along the outer edge.. there were so many options to choose from..       The boys shared a grilled cheese, I didn't try it but it look pretty good. Came with a side of pickle...

A month of summer has already gone by.. we have been making the most of it.. we wrapped up classes and lessons, visited the planetarium, the beach, Six Flags.. went to a splash pad and tried to biked a lot.. and then finally it was time for what we had been counting down too.. Vacation!! We are Oregon bound and will make our way up to Washington State.. cross the border and head to Vancouver before making our way back home..
