Portland Get Away

Spring break has come and gone, But we were able to get away for a couple of days. We were planning on leaving Tuesday the 15th, but had to stay until Thursday the 17th, for another doctors appointment. I swear we go to the doctors office on every holiday you can think of. We were there well 2 days after Christmas, Valentines day, and now St. Patrick's day. We should just plan on going in on April fools day ;).

It was nice to get away and take a break from everything. We went to Portland with our friends Miguel, Jeri, and Audri. We saw the Falls, Japanese garden, the Chinese garden,k and of course the Zoo. Gardens are so calming and peaceful. When we went to the Japanese garden we left Myra and Audri with Miguel's parents so it was really nice ;) We took Myra with us to the Chinese garden. She did pretty good. There was one duck in the water and that made her day.

The zoo, of course, was the best part. Myra skipped her nap for it, but she was okay with it. She is such a social bug. She kept trying to tell the kids around her what they were looking at. "see bear...cat...bird" It was cute! The zoo was so full that we had to take the shuttle bus in. Myra was asleep for the ride in, but woke right up as we started walking around the zoo. On the way back she was awake and realized how cool it was to not wear a seatbelt. She was standing on the seat and looking out the windows. Overall we had a fun trip. Thanks Jeri and Miguel for inviting us!!!
