Brady and I quasi-spontaneously took a day trip to Cannon Beach. It was a super peaceful and pretty drive – about an hour and a half from where we live SW of Portland. Thankfully, Brady slept most of the drive there and back so I got to just think and listen to music as we […]

When we visited the Portland International Rose Test Gardens 4 years ago on our vacation (it was just as beautiful) no one told us about the awesome huge playground just down the hill!  The entire Washington Park area is so huge and has so much to do (so many cultural & historical places, gardens, arboretums, […]

Our first hike as a family was within the Portland city limits (crazy that there’s a forest in the middle of the city, I know) at Tryon Creek State Park. It’s about a 15 min drive from our house and has several different trails that are approx a few miles round trip.  It was the […]

Our new favorite thing to do is pick berries (or peaches) at local farms and orchards! We do this approx once a week now.  We’ve been to Smith Berry Barn a couple times and these photos are from our first visit with some friends at the beginning of July.  We loaded up on delicious black […]

Our first month living in Portland has been pretty awesome, I must say.  Yes, maybe we brought the Texas heat drought with us (sorry), but the breaks of cooler weather are a nice treat! We’ve been exploring during every free moment. We’ve been to more playgrounds in 4 weeks than we visited in Dallas in […]

We were grateful to spend almost a week with both sides of my family in Katy, TX in between moving out of our home in Dallas and moving across the country to Portland, Oregon at the end of May 2015. We spent a few days with my mom and then a few days at my […]
