I have to say how much I like to go places. I don't like the money that it takes to go... but I love to go. I'm going to "photog" (photo blog) our trip day by day so that I have some kind of record of it.
We drove up to Nampa, ID on the first night. It was fun to catch up with my cousin Steve and his cute wife, Lindsay. I'd rather stay with them than any hotel! Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture with them... Then we drove on up the rest of the way... here's what we saw...
When we got close to Portland we decided to go visit Multnomah Falls.... Amazing...
(This on is a typical family portrait by the way...) Then we got together with James, Becca and James and their kids, Emily M., Amy, and we had a nice dinner. We were only going to be walking a couple of blocks so even though it was raining we grabbed our umbrellas and headed out the door... This is what the kids did with it and we were completely soaked by the time we got there. They gave Amy and I some birthday desserts and sang to us in Italian. Then we headed to their hotel so we could talk and hang out before we went to bed.
The next morning, Jer went to get Marg and her baby Cyrus (he's a cutie... he likes to "talk" to everyone... he's only three months old.) While they were gone I bathed kids and we went on a walk through downtown, Chinatown, and Old Town areas.
Then we left to drive to the beach. Thanks to my amazing friend Elizabeth, we got to go to the most amazing beach ever... Cannon Beach, Haystack Rock. I think everyone got to come to this one... Mary and her 7 kids, Jim and Judy, Marg and baby, James and Emily and baby Graham, Emily M., Amy, Becca and James and kids... and of course... us. (This day also happened to be on my actual birthday... where better to spend it?)

I am so glad that you liked Haystack Rock. It looked like it was such a pretty day. I loved your picture at Multnomah falls. I love how the kids are looking at the ground.
I wanna go! I love the pictures - it looks so beautiful. And I like Jeremy's karate kid pose :)
What a great trip you had!!
