Portland Anniversary Trip

What do you do when you want to celebrate a special occasion but don't have alot of time? Well, I don't know what you would do, but we took a trip down to Portland, Oregon! We went out of town last year for our first anniversary...all the way to Wickes, Arkansas...Bogg Springs Kids Camp! This year, we had Friday, Saturday, and Sunday free, so we decided to go down to Portland. To make it even more exciting, we decided to take the train to get there! We had a great time and just wanted to share a few pictures...


Portland here we come!

Ready for our mini-vacation!


Our view of Portland from the hotel


We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at The Melting Pot...I think it's our new special occasion place. In Portland, the restaurant is underground, very neat!


Here we are right after our chocolate fondue course...yum!


Portland was wrapping up something they call "The Rose Festival" so we got lucky and happened upon a parade, how fun!


This is Portland's Waterfront District. There were lots of ships docked b/c of the Rose Festival.


Union Station in downtown Portland...we really enjoyed taking the train on this trip. Before this, my closest train experience was watching "The Polar Express." =)


It was a great trip...much needed...and we can't wait for the next one!
