Summer's here!

We're back & feeling so refreshed! It was just what we needed, and a perfect start to our summer. Portland is an amazing city.

We'll just share a few of our favorite pictures for now. Later we'll write a review on our travel blog for those of you who may want to venture to Portland in the future. we spent hours in powell's bookstore. we ate fantastic food. we drove to the pacific ocean & ate seafood. we went to wineries & drank glass after glass of wine. we danced after midnight. we laughed about everthing & nothing at all. we acted like teenagers. we went to an outdoor baseball game. we sampled oregon beer at several breweries. I yelled at jay for driving like a crazy man in the city (probably every day). we ate voodoo doughnuts, yum! we saw bella's house. we ate dessert before dinner, more than once. we hiked in the pacific rainforest. we ran around in the rain & loved it. we saw the most romantic scenary we've ever experienced. we bought matching nerdy sweatshirts & coffee mugs. we dined at expensive restaurants. we talked each other's ears off. we did absolutely whatever we wanted for 6 days straight. we had a perfect west coast vacation.
