Portland Bucket List

After a wonderful three weeks at home that just flew by, we are back. Week one is done and hopefully we are all back in the groove. Ashley is back to preschool and very excited about PJ day tomorrow, and Davey was super excited to be back in swim classes with the oh-so-cool Mr. Ryan. Anyway, so now we are are on the count down until we go home for good! This fall we did a lot- Seattle, Olympic National Park, Crater Lake, The Redwoods, Mt. Hood, and a lot of voodoo donuts. Now what is left to do?
1. Eat at a food cart. I can't believe I have yet to do this. Portland is known for food carts and they are everywhere! So by a food cart, I should say food carts.
2. Check out the OMSI. We walk past it (on the opposite bank of the river) daily but have yet to go. Must actually go inside, especially the submarine. Davey would LOVE it!
3. Go to the children's museum 5 more times. Gotta make use of the family pass! And, lets be honest, that museum is COOL.
4. Go to the real Oregon aquarium in Newport. Not the seal jail in Seaside. (Though the kids still talk about feeding the seals. They apparently did not recognize how overwhelmingly depressing that aquarium was. Made me want to free the seals!)
5. Ride the train at the zoo. (And go to the zoo again - this time starting in the opposite direction since we have yet to actually see the exhibits at the end.)
6. Ride the streetcar, take trains, embrace city transportation and Davey's love of things on wheels.

Seems like a doable list. PW people, any additional suggestions?

Random Notes
1. Baby looks good. Kicking like crazy and still has a high heartrate- lowest so far has been in the mid 150s. Girl?
2. I drove the minivan into a column in that *&%$#* parking garage. I can no longer mock Jason. Yellow looks good on a white van, right?
3. I was asked 4x today if Ashley and Davey were twins. Holy Moly. Davey has definitely hit a growth spurt. Several of his shirts are dangerously close to showing off his tummy. Redneck style.
4. On Monday I will have 4 children under 4 in my hotel room for 5+ hours. If I don't ever blog again it is because I did not survive.
