Ryan had a conference scheduled in Vancouver, Washington so we decided to make a little family vacation of the trip. Here are a few pictures of our adventures. We spent 3 days on the coast first and then headed inland to the Portland/Vancouver area.
What used to be the largest Sitka Spruce in North America. The top blew off about 2 1/2 years ago, but it's still an impressive tree.
Ecola State Park
Tillamook Creamery-a must see for dairy lovers.
Portland Children's Museum

Japanese Garden and Rose Garden in Portland

Multnomah Falls
One event I didn't get a good picture of-we brought home two new family members. Someone at a gas station had 2 cute puppies they were giving away. My husband has a very soft spot for homeless animals and we now have two (because we couldn't separate the brother and sister) new puppies, named Sugar and Snap. They both rode 4 hours home on Ryan's lap (fleas and all.) I'll post pictures with the kids later (with fleas all dead).
I guess I should go clean out my car instead of playing on Blogger. I'm sure the girls will post more pictures on Facebook.

Sounds like so much fun! I'm jealous about the puppies. Someone at walmart the other day was giving away little lab puppies and if we weren't living in grandma's house/moving across the country next week we would totally have taken one home.
So fun. I wish I could've gone. Maybe some day... Call me when you have a few minutes to chat.
You have totally inspired me! And I still want to stop by and see that cool new door...
