  • Day One Portland

    Okay I think I'll do these by days.  Our first day was Friday.  We got up super duper early went and picked up Rob at work, and headed down the road.  We made a brief stop in Olympia to meet our Coach who had stuff that we needed for the trip.   She also had a HUGE box of donated snacks to give to us.  We had brought lots of food, but it was definitely a bonus.

    We made such good time that we hit Portland by about 1:30.  Checked into our Motel, and then went to explore.  After a couple false starts, We *hate* driving in Portland.  We both think its worse then LA.  Stupid stupid town.  ROFL.  Anyhow we did not get where we wanted to get, but we found a fantastic place to play at the water fountain.at the Rose Quarter.


    It was loverly and warm.  And the kids had a blast playing in the fountain, that constantly changed patterns.  Rob had a blast laughing his head off at them.



    After a lovely long splash.  We had gogurts (compliments of the coaches donated snacks)


    And then we wandered back to the motel in the ridiculous Portland traffic.

    Samuel actually wanted to pose with this.

    We had a nice nap while the kids watched tv.  Ate dinner, and headed to Christina's.
    We managed to go up and down up and down the road Christina's apartment was at until we finally called her.  She could see us, so directed us to where we should be.  LOL


    We brought ice cream, and had a lovely impromptu visit with her and Marcus and the boys.


    After a few minutes of playing shy.  Malachi became my best friend.  Probably the fact he ate more then half my ice cream didn't hurt.  LOL 

    I didn't get a single picture of Little Marcus and Jamari.  Darn it.  Jamari LOOOVES Little Marcus.  And was very very bummed when he had to leave him.

    We got back to the motel about 9:45 and quickly went to bed, so we could start day 2.
