Portland or Bust

When the alarm goes off at 5:00, there must be a reason. Today, that reason would be that we are flying to Portland. We are going to look at housing in the outskirts of Portland and want to get a feel for the area. Unfortunately, I had to wake up Bryce several hours before she wanted to get up. But the moment she knew that she was going to go on a plane, life was good. But let me tell you, that little plane that we went on, I wanted to so not be there. I hate little planes and this was one of those, there were only 4 seats across and 19 row, too small for me. There was a lot of turbulence too. But as we debarked, we were told by several people, that we have a very well mannered child and so well behaved. Good job Boo Boo Bear and Thank you Elmo!!!

Waiting in the airport...

This is the entrance to the Heathman Lodge, so beautiful!!!( This is the inside tomorrow, I will get the outside tomorrow).Bryce checking out all the beautiful Christmas decorations in the lobby.

The view from our room

Bryce and her dolly looking at the water from our room. We think that it is just a pool from the rain, but it is still beautiful. We are so beyond happy to be here.

I have grown so much that I may be taller than my Momma. The best part is that I can push the buttons in the elevator.

Rocka, Rocka- I am in your chair Grandpa Ken ,right by the fire. Where are you? At this point in the day, Bryce has been up since 6:30 (that's because I had to wake her up) and she has had a 10 minute nap in the car. What an amazing attitude this little one has had through out the entire day.

Listening to the music that was filling the room of the lobby. There were Christmas carolers singing and their voices filled the room. The front desk staff thought that Bryce was the most well behaved, cute child and they gave her this bear. Bryce immediately cuddled the little bear and the staff was full of Oohs and Ughs!!!
