The Family Visits

Well it's been quite a while since Eric and I have posted.  Our apologies.  As you saw, we were quite ill for a while.  And now it's summer and we've been out and about.

A little over a month ago, my mom came to visit and then Eric's mom and grandma came as well.  The only evidence we have of my mom visiting is this picture of her helping us with out 'Save the Dates'.

After my mom left, Kathy and Joanne came to visit after a week long cruise to Alaska.  They took the train down from Seattle and then we went about showing them the joys of Portland.  For their first morning, we had breakfast at Jam.

After breakfast we headed out to the rose garden and showed them 'our' bench.

After that, we took the shuttle up to the Japanese Gardens.

I don't remember what we did the rest of the day (it was too long ago).  The next day we enjoyed breakfast at the house and some relaxing with the pups.

Kathy got to reunite with Pickles, who missed her terribly.  She also got to meet Grandma for the first time.

Afterwards, we tried to go to VooDoo donuts.  The place was insane and they only had one person working the register.

We didn't wait around.  Instead we parked near the mall and took the Max into downtown.

We walked around downtown and the Pearl, ate at the food carts, and just enjoyed a cloudy but still enjoyable day.  That night we went to Kennedy School for dinner and root beers.  Overall it was a very exciting (ok not so exciting, but still fun) trip and we're glad they came!
