We try to get away for a family day in Portland at least once a summer and today we had a break from days and days of rainy, crummy weather so we headed to the Rose City. After dropping the Elisabeth's off at the airport we picniced at the Portland International Rose Gardens and visited the girls' favorite playground in Washington Park. We also found the Sacajawea sculpture as Mira has been wanting to see it. She has read every book about Sacajawea and we officially study Oregon history this year (we're making a scrapbook about Oregon history as we study so we need a pic for the scrapbook). We then hopped on the Max from Washington Park and rode it into downtown where we spent way too much time exploring the fountains and Finnegan's Toy Store. We also picked up smoothies and coffee and rested in Pioneer Square while West napped in the stroller. As if that wasn't a busy enough day already, we rode the Max back up the hill and went to the zoo to take advantage of our last month of zoo membership. After our zoo visit we ended the day with dinner at Baja Fresh. Although I'm now almost 27 weeks pregnant (almost 7 months) I felt great all day even with all the walking. I love making memories like we did today and the girls couldn't believe their luck with all the fun packed into one day. Stay tuned for a few more annual summer traditions we have planned for the next couple weeks.
