Seattle/Portland

Jason and I went to the NW for a friends wedding this past week. We stayed a few days in Portland with an old friend we knew when we lived in New Mexico that now lives in Portland. He drove us around and showed us the sites. It was nice to have a tour guide! We saw a few falls, lots of boats, went to a Portland Beavers Minor League game, and had a Voodoo Donut!

Wednesday we then did a day of temples. We went to the Portland Temple in the morning, then the Seattle Temple that night. (Josh has decided he is getting married in Seattle - because it has escalators).

We spend Thursday in Seattle. We did a Duck Tour and saw all the sites. Saw the Space Needle, but didn't go up it. We then went to Pikes Market. All they threw were T-shirts. We wanted to see them throw a fish - but we weren't sure how to get a Salmon as long as Ashley on the plane home so we were just happy to see them throw the t-shirt.

Friday we got on a Ferry (after waiting for 4 hours in line - which is short compared to the poor people about 10 cars behind us who got to wait another 2-4 hours past that). We headed to Lopez Island. It was pretty. A nice relaxing place to be for a few days. It was a nice wedding.

We then took the Ferry back and just hung out in Seattle for the day. We decided we weren't meant to live in Portland or Seattle. We aren't trendy enough and with kids we really don't fit in well. It was a nice place to visit. I can say I've been there. I don't have any plans to go back anytime soon but it was a nice relaxing week.

Now we get to get ready for school!
