Today we toured Portland. We woke up and hit the streets in search of breakfast which led us to Fuller's. They had the most authentic, down-home, fantastic breakfast ever and it was cheap! (I assume, actually since Billy stole the check to pay it!) We then hit Pullman's Books which was fabulous (but required a couple less kids and a few more hours of free time to fully enjoy!). From there we lost Noah and Billy (who were going to meet up with the Bride and Groom for their Pub Crawl festivities) and Tiff, the kids and I headed out in search of the Oregon Zoo. On the way there we took a side trip of sorts through Washington Park while Alex snoozed a bit. It was beautiful there! Gorgeous lush green growing in every direction. Green moss, green leaves, green brush, green grass...it was just GREEN. Tiff was calling it the Emerald Forest and that's the best description yet! It was breathtaking!
Eventually the kids grew tired of Aunt Tiff (Mom) parking the car and Mommy (Aunt Shana) jumping out to snap photos but man did that feed my soul! So eventually, we made it to the zoo. It was an awesome zoo! This zoo had animals our zoo at home doesn't have and the whole set up and atmosphere is gorgeous. I had fun snapping a ton of photos there, too! Eventually we made it to dinner and the kids crashed early (as did Tiff and I, if I recall!) Busy day of tourist activities but totally worth it!
