Our portland trip was a one day affair! We arrived, saw and drove home!
We drove the historic highway 30 through the columbia gorge area. I have never seen so many colorful trees and so many beautiful waterfalls. We went on several small hikes. Every time I am in nature I am so amazed by all the great creations there are and how mind blowing it is that nothing is the same. Every scene we can walk into everyday is different. Just like every person is different and unique. Nature was created this way also :)
That night we headed into the city and left on a tour. It wAs a historical ghost tour. So fun! Kevin the ghost hunter took us down underneath the city. Underground tunnels the "ghost hunter" series has filmed in. We even had EVP wands to read electrical currents around us. We didn't find any ghosts but we sure had fun trying and learned a lot about the city!!!

Seattle!!!
We are on our way home from our newest adventure!! We drove to Seattle and then off to Portland for spring break! First of all, let me me say!!! We miss our oldest three going on trips with us BUT it is SOOO much cheaper to travel. We have a standing invitation to them always though. Wherever we go they can go if their busy schedules allow. Jess is busy performing in thriller every night, Austin is on his mission and Sidney is dancing with a dance company and they had huge rehearsals all weekend also!! That leaves just the four of us.
I've always wanted to go to Seattle. Ever since seeing on of my all time favorite shows sleepless in seattle! It's just so out of the way BUT when our Mt Rushmore plans fell through because of government shutdowns. Off to Seattle we left.
Our first day was spent seeing the city! Riding to the top of the space needled, visiting the big mall, riding the monorail, and eating at the local hard rock!
Morning came and we left for a run walk along the coast. Soooo beautiful. We ended up at the fresh market. Fish throwing, fresh flowers, and multiple vendors! We had double chocolate chips frappe at the very first Starbucks!
We traveled on boat to the seattle locks and went through the process of going from salt water to ocean water. It was really neat to see :) that night we ate chowder on the shore with an incredible view!!
I am so thankful for the chances our family has to travel so much together. We work hard and play hard. We have had so many great trips and memories together. Scott and I decided long ago we didn't want to be burdened with a huge house or car payments. We wanted to live life and give our kids many experiences! Here's to many more adventures for our Seven Super Snowdens!!
