Portland

So we all (including Robert, Jessica & Lizzie) left too early on Thursday morning to get Amber down to Pacific University for her Music in May Honor band.

Robert, Jessica & Lizzie decided to take the Portland way toward home too.

My view ~ it just made me snicker seeing Robert's feet up on the dashboard.

They stopped with us to drop Amber off at the school, went out to lunch at Chevy's and then to take a walk around the Portland temple.

Love watching Lizzie grow up! Such a big girl drinking out of a straw.

Lizzie didn't just want to hold David's hand, she HAD to have Papa's too.

And Lizzie wants to show David this:

And off they went to Boise to visit Jessica's brother and family before they headed back home to Utah.

Off we went to check in to our hotel where David was spoiled by being able to sleep in his own king-sized bed for the weekend. Where we had fun doing nothing, swimming, scrapbooking, playing tourist and watching movies.

One of the BEST places in Portland to get chocolate:

The BEST hot chocolate ~ EVER!!!!

Then before we knew it, it was time to drive back out to the University for Amber's concert.

Then the LONG drive home and we arrived home around 1 am.

Those good byes must be hard, especially at the temple where she was soooo curious!! That chocolate store looks epic! I bet Amber's concert was fantastic, too. Overall, a good family getaway?

Goodbyes are always hard :(

You need to email me those pictures of Bug at the temple and the one of Robs feet in the window. LOL!

To bad we couldn't stay for the weekend and hear Amber's concert :(
