Chandler's First Trip

Last week Stevehad to go to Portland, so Chandler and I tagged along for the weekend. We thought taking both kids would be too tough, and we knew it'd be easier to travel with Chandler, and Brooklynn wouldn't enjoy the traveling. We left early Friday morning and headed to the city. The weather was cold and windy by the river, so we thought maybe Washington Park would be warmer - wrong. The park is right outside the city and is beautiful! Our first stop was the rose garden,but it was too early and no blooming roses. Our next stop was the Japanese Tea Garden, which was cold but tranquil.

Saturday we drove to the coast and hung out in Cannon Beach (where the famous Goonies rock is). It was a cute town, and the coast was beautiful! Even with the cold wind we enjoyed walking the beach and a good lunch.

We took Chandler swimming for the first time at the hotel. Luckily the pool was warm, so she really liked it. Can't wait for this summer!

We flew back Sunday, and Chandler did awesome on both flights. I was scared to fly alone with her, but she slept almost the entire flight. It was tough to have both girls by myself last week, especially with them both having colds, so we were ecstatic to see Steve on Thursday!
