Over the Fourth of July weekend we decided to head out to Portland. We left on Thursday after work and arrived there at 1:30 in the morning, only to be awakened at 8:00 am by the fire alarm... fun. Not really sure what happened, but we stayed another couple of nights so everything must have been okay. We pretty much just bummed around town and saw some fun shops and interesting sites. The Japanese Gardens were supposedly the best outside of Japan with good reason. We navigated around town on the light rail system, avoiding traffic and getting lost. It was a very fun and exciting trip that was well worth the drive.
Our 8:00 am wake up call.
The World's Smallest Park (24 sq. in.).
Apparently, the creator of the Simpson's named his characters after Portland streets.
On the Willamette River.
Japanese Gardens
Peace
Us, posing for the camera.
The Chinese Gardens
Tea Time
It's Good
Mmmm... Crawfish
Our Transportation around town.
The Saturday Market.
Enjoying Treats at Pioneer Square.
Good Times... Good Times
Chris was a little lost.
Multnomah Falls (611 ft.).
Not quite sure what Amanda is thinking.
Dolor de cabeza (Headache).
Always room for the Holy Spirit.
