portland - part 2

the rest of our portland trip included lots of fun things!

 cousin g has a fun little activity area that he shared with nuggie all week. every morning the babes played and had a wonderful time in their little space.

on wednesday we went to the japanese gardens in portland. they were amazing. it was so peaceful and so pretty. i can't wait to go back. i would love to just sit with a cup of coffee and my journal and spend the afternoon in this little sanctuary.

 nuggie enjoyed the gardens too! here she is peaking at something.


thursday we went to the coast. we visited a new to us beach called depoe bay. oh was it gorgeous! i can't get enough of the ocean. it was chilly, but wonderful. nuggie enjoyed her first trip to the beach as well!

for lunch we went to this super cute little place called tidal raves. the name sounds cheesy, but the food was amazing. and this was the view from the front of the restaurant!  i think i'd work there just so i could look at this scene every day!


our view from our table... i think i might have seen a whale tale?? 


on friday we went to visit grammy's work. nuggie had a splendid time cruising around in the shopping cart as usual. she seriously thinks it's the best thing in the world.


and there you have it. our return flight was rough. our flight from pheonix to nashville was 30 min late and then when we got to nashville they wouldn't let us land because of bad weather, so we had to circle around for another 30 minutes. nuggie was NOT a happy camper. i can't blame her - she had quite the busy week. and overall she handled it wonderfully. all the change and different experiences with only a few meltdowns. she's such a little joy :-)
