We decided to join DH for a business trip to Vancouver/Portland. We had such a fabulous time! Here are the highlights…
Day One
SpringHill Suites -Indoor Pool for swimming and free breakfast
The Old Spaghetti Factory -first time for the boys
Big Al’s Bowling – Coolest bowling alley ever! We had a blast !!
Day Two
Vancouver Police Department-East Precinct – There was a park and attached to the park was the police station. ‘A’ idolizes policemen and wanted to go inside to say ‘hi’, so we ended up chatting with ‘Corporal Ford’ for about 20 minutes before going to the park to play.
Prince Caspian- ‘A’ and I loved the movie. It was a little long for ‘R’
Cha Taqueria and Bar– We walked around Portland’s Alphabet District after dinner. I love that neighborhood.
Day Three and Four
Country Cousin’s Restaurant– This is a favorite road trip restaurant of DH and mine. Their door crows at you when you open it. A first time for the boys.
Great Wolf Lodge – OH YEAH!! The boys were completely overwhelmed for the first few hours, but we ended up having so much fun, we decided to stay an extra night. This is a chain, so if there is one near you, check it out. We ate in the lodge restaurant for all our lunches and dinner because the food was so good.
Magiquest – This was in the hotel. ‘A’ was completely immersed in it. ‘R did OK, but his attention span was not quite there yet.
No pics yet. Sorry.
Sounds like you had a wonderful mini-break! Those kinds of vacations are wonderful!
Blessings,

My highschool friend and I used to go down to Portland for little mini breaks. We always ate at the sketti factory after a day at the zoo. I love the sketti factory! When I was up there in August, we ate at the one in Tacoma. YUM!! My step grandma lives not to far from there (Portland that is) and I used to always try to find a way to eat there if I was down visiting .
You guys know how to have FUN!
