During our stay in Seaside we went in to Portland to do a little joint celebrating of our birthday's.
We went to the Farmer's Market and got some of our favorite cookies while oogling all the fresh peaches, berries and tomatoes.
Then we walked down to one of our favorite spots, Mother's Bistro, for a delicious lunch.
It was a beautiful day, reminiscing of mornings and afternoons spent crossing through Pioneer Square and riding the MAX to and from work.
One of our birthday traditions for the last couple years has been to drive through the Willamette Valley, feasting our eyes on the pretty orchards and vineyards. We'd usually stop at a fruit stand for some fresh peaches, but we took a slightly different route this year and didn't find a stand.
Lately on long car rides Hayley has taken to hiding under her blanket, to either take a nap or giggle profusely while singing ABC's. Not sure which one she was doing in this pic.
We had a great time in Portland, even if it was only for a half day.
At the end of our stay we drove up to Canada to see Skyler's brother and family. Skyler's Mom and his sister's came too. We ditched the kids and got to go to Ben's game that night. And they won!
On my actual birthday we went to Fort Langley. An outside museum of sorts from 1800's? Lots of cool stuff for the kids to explore. Later we all went out to the pool for a relaxing afternoon followed by BBQ.
It was just a quick trip, on our way out we stopped by the BC temple.
Hayley loved walking around. It was beautiful.
Back at home now, our last, first week of school is over for Skyler. Yay!
Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. (and for the heat to die down.)
Happy BirthdayS!!!!!
