Moms!

Our moms made the journey to the beautiful Pacfic Northwest to visit their favorite children this weekend. It was a short trip, but we made the most of it. Mirav picked them up from the airport Friday afternoon. After checking into their hotel in downtown, we walked around until we found a nice little Italian restaurant. I forgot my camera in the car so there are no picture of this. Sorry.

 

Saturday morning we ate at the Cafe Du Berry. They are renowned for their french toast. It was almost like a bread pudding. Mirav's first plate still had raw egg in the middle, gross. I did not care for it, too soggy.

 

Next we headed over to PSU to go to the Saturday Farmers Market. Mirav and Jill were negotiating the parking machine.

 

My mom bought some lavender soaps. The lady in front of her wouldn't stop chatting and she was annoyed

Mirav refuses to make a normal face when I point the camera at her

After the Farmers Market we went up to OHSU,  which is at the top of a big hill above the city. Awesome views. You can see mount hood in the background. It was a super clear day, great weather.

Me and Mirav. You can see the Airieltram on the right. It starts at the river and goes up to where we were. Lots of fun. 

We headed out to the rose garden to show the moms where we got engaged. The roses were mostly dormant because it's so cold already. But there were a few nice ones. 

This is our engagement bench. Smile Mirav :)

Next up was the Japanese gardens

This spot was my first choice to propose

They had an Origami demonstration. Mirav made a crane and Jill made a penguin. They were friends

We took the dogs for a walk after we got back from the gardens. Fall is awesome

We went to a brewery for dinner. That beer was pretty good

The dogs LOVE my mom

Tami was out of his mind happy having the moms in town

After dinner we went up to Mississippi Ave to get some ice cream at Ruby Jewel. They kept giving us free hot coco samples.  After ice cream, we called it a night. It was a long day.

The moms made it to the airport around 7am Sunday morning. We went back home and slept until 11. Thanks for visiting moms!
