i spent a relaxin' weekend in portland oregon with my favorite sister (same Father, different mother)...
big guy stayed home with the kiddies so i could have a weekend away (thank you, babe--you rock!)
we spent lots of time exploring portland and then got to hang out with toni (yippeeeee!).
at our fav store---anthro--but can you believe i bought nuthin"....
loved portland but sad my homie, partner in crime, accountability partner is so far away....
mt. hood in the background---can you believe everyday was gorgeous-except the day i left. then the cold front hit. got out just in time...
the bakery rocked---the cookies were delish and the pecan cinnamon swirl roll added three inches to my hips just looking at them...
scenes around portland's alphabet district (which was way cool)..
we ate at this great little cafe that had yum yum desert--just go ahead and add another 3 inches to the hips...
the BEST part of alphabet district was discovering these letters.... yup, going straight to the scrap room. i tried to figure out what word i wanted and bren said "i am" (not the i am every woman but the I AM as in God telling Moses to tell the Isrealites that I AM sent him----LOVED it...or louie giglio saying i am not but i know I AM) thanks, bren!!!!
then we hung out in the "grunge" district and went antiquing. i found a cooooool christmas present for oma (shhhhhhhhh..can't show it...it's a surprise).
loved these old cameras...what did we do before digital and photoshop (and starbucks and cell phones and the internet and FACEBOOK.....)
fun times with fun friends and then i was time to go home to the kiddies and hubby!
