we're back! our trip out to oregon was wonderful. traveling is for sure very different with a little one in tow, but we survived and got to spend lots of time with my sis, brother-in-law, nephew and mom.
nuggie had her friday photo taken on her first plane ride! she did so wonderfully on the way out. all that worrying for nothing, sorta. the return flight, well that's a whole other story.
nuggie and g met for the second time. we all got together at christmas when the babes were still so small. they really seemed to enjoy being together this time around.
on saturday we had a breakfast a fun little place called cup and saucer. then bub made his regular trip to the massive REI downtown. this trek found him purchasing shoes for his spartan races (i'll blog more about that little adventure later!). after breakfast we headed out to the lovely oregon wine country. the state is so totally chill that babies are more than welcome to join us on wine tastings. this little pic is my brother-in-law and sweet little gman. is he not the cutest little man in the world???
this is my amazing, beautiful sister... nugg and she got along splendidly.
here are the boys with the babes. nuggie is grabbing at g's little nose. the two did this to each other alot this week :-)
nuggie also happened to turn 7 months old on this trip! how is my sweet little lady growing up so fast? i had to take her 7 month pic with the fam.
g needed to check out nuggie's bow.
sunday night we had some really awesome amazing GOOD seafood. it's a little tricky to get fresh stuff in nashville - so we asked sisterkins to take us some place yummy in portland. she did NOT disappoint. i had the most amazing jumbo lump crab/mushroom/artichoke dish and bub got a massive bowl with seafood all in the shell. he had a small stack of tools he had to use to crack it all free. nuggie tried salmon for the first time and LOVED it! she also had her first piece of crusty bread to gnaw on, she thought that was pretty amazing too :-)
you can't go more than a mile or two without running into a park it seems, so we took advantage! you can also walk just about anywhere in the portland area, which i love. it's so different then down here in the south where you're lucky to even find a safe sidewalk to stroll down. sweet nuggie went on the swings with her papa and loved being pushed around in her stroller everywhere.
that's all i've got for now... i'll write more about our trip soon. now it's back to reality - hot, humid weather, and crazy cicadas welcomed us home - ick! school starts back up this week and bub heads back to work. it was so nice to have a little escape from it all. i miss my sweet family so much.
