Adelyn's First Road Trip

Last weekend Aaron had an event in Portland, so Adelyn and I decided to go along and make an adventure out of it. We had never been to Washington Park that overlooks the city, so here we are in the Japanese Gardens there.



According to the Japanese Ambassador, these are rated the best Japanese Gardens outside of Japan. They were really pretty, but I'm sure would have been even nicer (and more worth the money) if we had gone a little later when things were in bloom.


As you can see, it was a gorgeous day and we were able to catch an awesome glimpse of Mt. Adams. It isn't every day in the Pacific Northwest that the clouds allow that sort of thing, so I thought I'd share it.



Saturday after Aaron finished working we decided to take a little scenic drive to give Adelyn her first look at the Pacific Ocean. Here we are at Cannon Beach, where Goonies was filmed.



We didn't get a picture of the big Haystack--it was freezing cold and Adelyn wasn't enjoying the blustering wind. All in all though, she was a good sport on her first road trip, though I couldn't get a smile out of her, here is the little cutie close up.

Your road trip makes me miss Oregon! Sounds like your baby did pretty well on her first adventure. She sure is a cutie.

I think she is getting cuter and cuter. Too bad the weather wasn't more cooperative, but I guess we can't expect much just yet. Good pics of you guys. It was also a lot of fun to see you this last weekend.
