Portland Fun

Last week Peter had the opportunity to take a 3 day training course through his work, so we tagged along to have some Portland fun while Daddy worked!

We dropped Peter off early Tuesday morning and then headed off to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.  I had a membership to both that museum and the Children's museum, so we were all set for some free fun.  We spent all morning playing with all the fun exhibits.  And I got to see my good friend Heather!  So random to see her there but so good to catch up.  We took a break for some lunch, the boys got a quick nap in the car while I got a Starbucks, then we headed back to the museum for a few more hours of fun before picking up Peter downtown.  A yummy dinner at the 'stinky' restaurant as Ben called it (crab house!), and swimming at the hotel capped off the first day!











Jonah did not sleep well the first night so I was having my patience stretched thin by 8am that morning.  We took Peter to his training, Jonah napped in the car (all before 9am - little man was tired!), then we arrived at the Portland Children's Museum.  The boys had a blast playing.  We left around lunchtime, ate a quick meal then headed back to the hotel so the boys could nap in a bed which was very much needed that afternoon.  2 hours later I woke those sleepy boys up so we could go play with trains at ToysRUs before having to go pick up Daddy.  Cheesecake Factory and more swimming finished the day.









Our final day we had breakfast at the hotel again then packed up our room while Peter was at his class.  Then we headed back to OMSI for some more fun.  Panera for lunch, then a bit more museum before picking up Peter and heading home.  Jonah slept on the way home, Ben played the Ipad and Peter and I chatted.  We got home and ate some leftovers, bathed the boys and all crashed early.  It had been a super fun 3 days but boy were we tired!  We loved that Peter let us tag along on his little trip, the boys had a wonderful time :-)
