Hahaha! Here I am a week later, ready to get the second half of our WA trip in blog! Gannon and I have been enjoying the much needed quality time with Kyle before he has to leave us on the 1st. Excuses, excuses! So here goes...
We arrived at Grandma Hattie's and came up with a plan to visit the Portland Zoo the following morning. Even better, we agreed that Kyle would drop Hattie and I downtown to do some shopping, while he took Gannon back to the house for nap! Love that guy!! Hattie and I shopped 'til we dropped and while famished, enjoyed a delicious meal at the Macaroni Grille. YUM!
Tippy Toes!
Stinky Elephants!
She insisted...I swear!
The following day we headed to Fort Vancouver and the Air Museum. Both were right up Gannon's alley. The pictures tell a thousand words. Enjoy!
FIRE!!!
Our Little Pilot
Kyle and I took full advantage of the Grandparents situation and headed out most afternoons and nights when Gannon was asleep. We would find ourselves downtown most days. It was great to walk around and find breweries where Kyle could buy his coveted souvenir pint glasses. We stumbled upon Rock Bottom and Salmon Creek. And yes, you can find glasses from both in our kitchen cabinet.
Rock Bottom's Finest.
Seriously, these were all over downtown. "Honey" is the last thing that comes to my mind. Yak!
One of the nicest experiences in WA. Family owned and super friendly. We indulged a sampler and decided the Helles would make it to a pint! Delish!!
We experienced Lebanese for the first time at the Nicholas Restaurant. A super trendy spot where we sat at a table with another family of four. I jumped right into the Grapeleaves appetizer, while Kyle chose Baba Ghanoug, basically a form of hummus. They were both fantastic. I had Kibbah, dough filled with ground lamb, pine nuts, onions and spices with tahziki sauce. Kyle downed a traditional Gyro. If you're ever out in downtown Portland, I highly recommend it!
Seriously folks, I could go on and on with the fun, but I'm exhausted and have a week's worth of blogging to catch up on! My Tuesday Ten should sum it up tomorrow. Aye!!!
