Portland

We drove to Portland for the weekend to visit Sara's cousins John and Valerie.

We stopped at Hot Lips Pizza for some soda, which is deliciousness, so we had to stock up.

On Sunday, we decided to take a trip to...

RJ, Sara & Doug by the falls

And once Doug discovered we could hike to the top of the falls, there was no convincing him otherwise.

So, he pushed the stroller along the hiking path to the top.

View straight down from the top. I ran off the overlook after taking this picture. Notice someone actually climbed out there to stack those rocks?

Sara and RJ happy to be at the top

Visiting "DC" friends in Portland!

And the trip concluded with a view of Mount Saint Helens on the drive home.
