Crawford Chronicles: Portland trip

We took a long weekend to go to Portland before the end of Jamie's maternity leave. We visited some friends, the Brentano's and the Hood's. It was a great trip!

We started with a stop at Bruno's Pizza. It's the best pizza spot in Jamie's home town of Longview, and is run by someone she went to school with. Mounds of pepperoni and lots of cheese!

Skyler is ready for a day at the Zoo. We finally met up with the Brentano's at the right zoo this time, after the fiasco of going to opposite zoos in Seattle last month.

Skyler's first real zoo trip. Last time didn't count of course.

Now they're birds I guess. lol.

Fun day, and a great way to snuggle with Skyler!

We got back to the hotel, to see some interesting things! There was an outrigger conference going on, and they had fun activities strung throughout the hotel. Here's a guy walking a tight wire.

We visited Gareth, Sheliya, and their new son Jaxon! Here's Sky with Jax.

Jaxon was due 3 weeks after Skyler. However, he was born 6 weeks early (nearly a month before Skyler was born). We finally made it to Portland to visit. It was so fun!
