We finally got to visit Adam and Rachel in Portland!
We were with them for a few days and also a house rental on the Oregon Coast.
There's quite a few pictures...sorry!!

| Happy Chase's arrival at Aunt Rachel's house |
We arrived about lunch time, tried to rest, but couldn't, so got up and explored some neighborhoods...
In case you didn't know, Portland is the Rose City...apparently they have special growing conditions!
We walked around this amazing Rose Garden...
...here Chase came across a real live Princess!! She was enthralled to say the least.
Needless to say, it was a girl celebrating her quincinera!!
...a beautiful view of Mt. Hood...and we are thankful that we actually got a peek!
The next day Rachel took us around another area...we took an aerial tram up to a hospital area. It seemed strange to see dr's, etc. boarding this tram to go up the hospital! But the view was great, again, Mt. Hood made an appearance!
Portland is a lovely city, especially when sunny. Although, strangely enough, it was HOT the first 2 days we were there! It was a bit bizarre. Lots of bridges (also known as Bridgetown), lots of unique food trucks. We got to experience eating at several of the food trucks around the city. They were delish. I enjoyed my Pad Thai Chicken that I had 3 times immensely!!!
Adam and Rachel have a lovely, old home. It is very big (guest room for visitors with a very comfy bed), live in great, old, historical part of the city, from what I could tell. Walking distance to a little downtown area. They are taking up the Portland lifestyle with lots of bicycling.
I think they are very happy here and it seems to fit them better than Texas did.
Thanks for hosting us A & R!! It was great!
