More Portland Fun

For anyone bored of our "travel log" of Portland, I won't blame you for skipping this post. But Scott's at home missing us & we miss him too, so we're updating him (& those who care) on what we've been up to.

Yesterday, we had yummy icecream at a neat little restaurant not far from my dads house & wandered fun neighborhoods looking in pet shops & thrift stores.

And of course no trip Portland would be complete without a nice long browsing of Powells New & Used Bookstore. I had a huge pile but settled on 2 books, but darn, it was hard.

Then a quick trip on a streetcar to watch Portland passing by.

And then stopped at a splash park. We didn't bring suits so we let he kids get soaking wet in their underwear. So fun!

Today we went to the ORIGINAL "Original Pancake House". It was a massive wait, the place was packed, but it was a fun, kitchy place to eat with YUM pancakes.

We then went to the lovely Tryon State Park& went a on a little hike.

Then we took a little walk around the Portland Oregon LDS Temple. It was gorgeous: the architecture, the gardens, & it was a peaceful end to the afternoon.

And to cap off the night we all had a blast painting a mural in grandpas garage.

Has anyone been to Portland? What did you guys see/love in the city? We'll be heading out soon so if there's a MUST see lemme know!
