We took off on Friday of the Memorial day weekend and headed to Portland. It worked out nice because Juan had that Friday and Monday off. We headed out in the morning and went to OMSI for the first thing. It was ok but our kids are still a little too young to enjoy it and Damon was throwing up in the morning before we left but as soon as we got in the car, he was fine, but he was so tired! And that was the beginning of the trip. We headed over to the Beaverton area after and checked into our hotel and then met up with Juans sister and her boyfriend at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner. That place is just amazing! Amazing wings for sure! We headed back to the hotel afterwards and got settled in a bit.
Saturday we started out our day and went to the childrens museum and the boys loved it! Especially Damon living the water area!We headed to babies r' us hoping to find a pack and play that we like since we aren't getting the crib out while we are living at my parents. Didn't find one that I completely loved and so we left empty handed. He headed over to costco after that and also left empty handed. My day was already going bad because both boys were tired and we had too many people with us that we were in the way for everyone. Idle standing, no good. I want to get in a store get what I need, and leave. We were going to head back to the hotel afterwards because it was about 2 in the afternoon and I wanted to put the kids to nap but we decided to head to a Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Can't not shop when you know there are no taxes! It was great to be near family in a way because we were able to leave Keenan with Juans little brothers that we brought with us to stay with Vicky and us adults and Damon went to eat at a buffet. Nice to be able to just relax a bit. We were able to let Damon have a nap at his sisters while Juan went with her boyfriend Juan to the adidas employee store where they got everything 50% off! It was a good deal!
Sunday we met up with my Grandpa Floyd and Jane for breakfast. It was nice to see them for about an hour and half and enjoy thier company. We headed out again and went and met up with his sister and his cousin to hang out together.
Monday we checked out and headed over to American Eagle and got Juan a couple pair of Jeans that headed over to his cousins house and then headed out towards home to his other cousins house for a BBQ. It was nice to be able to just hang out and not shop. We enjoyed some good company and some good food. We left on super full stomachs but couldn't miss the outlet malls heading out!
We had a good time but we both agreed it was too long of a vacation with kids that young and me being 8 months pregnant. We needed a vacation from our vacation!

Loved these new posts. The pics of the kids at the museum are darling. You looked beautiful. We always say we need a vacation after the vaction. :) I can't believe how close you are to being a family of 5. Crazy! Hope that Damon continues to enjoy riding the horse and that Keenan survives your Dad's ideas. ;) To be honest I was impressed he thought of safety (the bungee cord). My Dad is dangerous!!!! He doesn't tell anyone any ideas because he doesn't think things through. haha! That's why we love him.
Vacations will never be the same! I think they are finally getting easier for us, but we always say we need a vacation just the 2 of us because it is so much work! But you got out of the house and I can't believe how much family is in the Portland area for you!!
