Portland Town!

This last weekend was President's Day, so we decided to drive up to Portland to get our fix of the bigger city. We always see a difference in the kids when we go on these trips; their vocabulary seems to increase at super-speed and you can almost hear their minds working overtime.

Pippa's favorite thing this time, besides the hotel and the Children's Museum, was the escalator at the mall. I can't think of any here in Bend, which seems crazy to me. There must be at least one public escalator somewhere, just nowhere I go!

Trains! William could have stood there all day watching that train go round!

They were great travelers overall and we all had a great time. I can't wait to do it again!
