Out and about it PDX

We met in The Pearl District in Portland for lunch today.  I love the Pearl.  It is very artsy and has great places to eat, shop and walk around.

We ate at this great place, called 50 plates.  They feature 50 entrees from all 50 states.  I had southern food ~ the best mac n cheese!

Impossible to get a pic of Andrew.  But I'll take a side profile.

Classic Mark face

Dana LOOOOOVES frozen yogurt.  We went for an after lunch treat.

Dana said I'm not allowed to just pass Elle around.  But I had to see Andrew with Elle.

Kisses from Papa Oregon

Lovey.

Family Ties....

My family and Tommy spent the day relaxing at Janice and Mark's house in Ladera. Football, food, cards, naps...

Jake knows how to make himself comfortable...

Nick, Dana and baby Mayo in front of the fire.

Mayo thinks that she is a baby and loves to be held just like one!

Can you tell how thrilled Mark is to have his photo taken?

Janice and Mark

A glass of vino at the end of the night. I love my papa!

Tommy flies home to Memphis tomorrow, Dana and Nick are headed back to Portland and my mom, dad and Jake will drive back to Borrego.

It's been a great 10 days and I'm feeling sad that life returns back to normal on Monday. I'm grateful for all of the fun times and memories made over Christmas and New Years. I am so blessed!
