CROSSING THE BORDER

For Crystal and Chris’ final day, we crossed the border into Vancouver, WA. We walked the sleepy streets searching for lunch.

And we found it in Vancouver’s oldest diner (since 1932), Joe Brown’s Cafe. I tried eating my hamburger and chips with a fork because I’m very elegant.

How cool is this Vancouver mural??

Then we went back to Oregon to visit the Portland Japanese Garden. I found tons of bridges!

While we waited for Chubs’ dog sitter to drop him off at our usual meeting place, I got to play in this cool playground.

Thanks, Crystal and Chris, for a fun few days!

BRIDGETOWN

I’m playing tourist in Portland and finally went to Voodoo Doughnut.

Then we walked across the Burnside Bridge! Did you know I love bridges???

Bridgetown

Then Mommy made me pose by this wall.

While we walked around the city, we stumbled upon this fantastic playground, just as the sun came out.

While Crystal and Chris shopped for books at Powell’s, I took out my drawing supplies and got to work.

To cap off a great day, we walked across the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Walkway. I see it every time I take the tram, but it was the first time I’d been on it.

SLIDE KING

Now that I’ve mastered the slide, I had to go back and do it again.

I also hit my other old favorites…

Then it was time to head home. Where was everyone else? No one likes to play and walk in the freezing cold??

SPRING BREAK PARK DAY

It’s spring break!

I decided I wanted to go to the park, even though it was cold and rainy. As we hoofed it over there, I was a man on a mission.

I’ve always been afraid of going down the slide by myself and have done it only two or three times in the past. But this time, I went down all six of the slides a whole bunch of times! It was super fun and I’m not afraid of them anymore.
