Portland

Working from home and being in my house all the time is starting to drive me batty so we decided to head to Portland for a night. 

Visited the children's museum after a yummy lunch in Vancouver, WA. 

After, we checked into the hotel and headed to the pool. We've never seen CE so confident and excited to do something somewhat new. She loved the water. Grinned and laughed the entire time. Had to take her out long before she was ready since her teeth were chattering from being cold.

After an ok dinner at Hopworks, a kid friendly brewery restaurant we headed back to the hotel. CE slept great in her pack n play.

Next morning up for the continental breakfast then more swimming (this time with gift shop purchased arm floaties).

 Then we headed to Vodoo Donut. (She wanted the red one. Licked a few sprinkles off and was done).

And that was that. Back to Seattle in time to catch a little window of sun. 

Puddle hunting

Finally...

A beautiful weekend in the forecast.

Din Tai Fung

Juicy pork for the win.

Molly moons ice cream, not a huge hit. Too fancy for me.

Monkey sighting

Pre school

After completing applications and taking CE for an observation, we are very happy to hear CE got into Giddens (and Learning tree Montessori).

Going with Giddens, which is our first choice.  Little girl will be going to school in September. Ch ch ch changes!

Where did my baby go?

Celebrating with pizza and milk shakes.

Sunshine!

Girls at the zoo.

Special treat

Capped the weekend off with a frozen treat from Menchies.

Ready for school

I think the girls are ready for school. Here they are joining a pre-school class at Madrona Park today.
