our next stop was portland.
mt. hood
we spent wednesday at the oregon museum of science and industry.
pretty sure the mr. enjoyed it more than the girls.
okay, me too.
the exhibits were very cool.
while there, we went to the planetarium.
then we grabbed lunch before heading to our imax show.
never again.
it's not even the height of the theater that bugs me.
it's the whole 'in your face' part.
it makes me dizzy when the whole room feels like it's moving.
so now in addition to 3d movies, the mr. has to go to imax movies by himself too.
the next day, we headed to the zoo.
m slept through some of it, but b really liked it.
b next to the life size photo of a baby elephant.
after the zoo, we were going to go to the portland children's museum.
but because we were tired we skipped out.
it also didn't help that they charged admission for m too.
really? she was barely 13 months!
so we had a late lunch and did a little sightseeing.
we went to fort vancouver but only made it there 15 minutes before they were closing, so they wouldn't let us in.
much better photo of mt. hood
we stayed one more night and headed home the next day.
on the way home, we stopped at multnomah falls.
it's literally just a couple miles off of the interstate.
in fact, you can get off the interstate, keep driving the direction you were heading on the interstate for like 8 miles and then get right back on the interstate like you never got off.
well worth the extra half hour to see it.
wahkeena falls before you get to multnomah falls
multnomah falls and the beautiful lodge there
aaand the girls about 5 minutes from home.
can you tell they were done with the car?
we had a ton of fun and hope to be able to go back sometime in the spring one year.
and maybe we'll wait till they get a little better in the car :)
