portland.

About 2 months ago, for our anniversary, Michael bought us tickets to go to Portland.  We have both wanted to go there to see the city and bonus! my grandma and aunt live there (and they hadn't seen Finn yet, so it was a meet and greet too!).  It's such a beautiful city.  So much green.  We drove out to my grandmas house one afternoon through luscious green farms and wide open spaces.  Mike kept trying to figure out ways for us to move there. Oh, and this is where Finn took his first steps!!

 {meeting great grandma for the first time.}

 {these two couldn't get enough of each other at dinner.  also, this place was delicious and so cute inside.  go to mother's!}

 {he wasn't too fond of that helmet.}

{we rode a long, long ways, but it was through the most beautiful park.}

 

 {michael got us a room that had a jacuzzi on the balcony.  it was so perfect.  we would put finn to bed, then go relax.}
