Our trip to Portland...

All four of us went to Portland, Oregon on Wednesday to see Matt's Sister Jennie and meet her husband Jeramie. We all went to the Family Fun Center in Wilsonville, Oregon. and had a great time there. Matt hadn't seen his sister in about 16 years or so, so he had fun catching up with her. I think us adults had just as much fun there as the kids did. We rode go-karts, played lazer tag and played a ton of games for tickets which the kids cashed in for prizes. I had never played lazer tag before and I was surprised at how much fun it was. We played boys against girls and the girls won. Yay!

After we left there, we went to our hotel in Portland which was really nice. It was right across the street from the Lloyd Center mall which is where we had dinner that night. We wanted to try ice skating, but we had already spent so much money at the Family Fun Center that we decided not to.

I was hesitant about going at first since we had to take Monica out of school for 2 days, but I am glad that we went after all. The kids had a great time and it was really nice to have a little mini vacation for all of us. Here are some pictures from our fun time in Portland: (Click on the photos to make them bigger)
