Laura had a work conference out in Portland, OR. We decided to add a couple days to the original trip and turn it into a little vacation- almost an entire week. The kids stayed with both sets of grandparents and this was the longest we have been away from the kids ever! While Laura was at her conference, Ryan did some hiking, played poker, and explored downtown Portland. During our trip, we went to four breweries, Thursday Market, Powell Books, Voodoo Doughnuts, Pittock Mansion, the Rose Garden, Multnomah Falls, and Cannon Beach. This was the first time Ryan has been to the Pacific Coast so he really enjoyed Cannon Beach. Laura even hiked off the trail at Multnomah Falls! It was a really beautiful city and we enjoyed spending time together but we were ready to get home to the kids!
