Mommy’s friend, Aliah, recently had surgery, so we brought some dinner to her house in Vancouver, WA.
Aliah loves gardening and she was walking around enough to give us a tour. She took some strawberries from her plant and they were the best strawberries I’ve ever had!
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit me! And I pulled all the stops to bring nice, sunny weather here for them.
First, we walked the streets of Lake Oswego to go to our favorite French bakery and Grandma’s favorite florist.
Then we drove all the way up to Vancouver, WA and got to see airplanes at Pearson Field.
After, we headed to an ice cream place. Grandma and I didn’t get any, so it was my opportunity to chat with her about decaf coffee.
Vancouver has so many outdoor murals.
I really wanted to see the Vancouver Land Bridge (another pedestrian bridge to check off the list). But we had to walk pretty far from Fort Vancouver to see it.
We were really close to Pearson Field, so there was some good airplane spotting.
I don’t remember what I was talking about here, but you can bet it was pretty good.
And then Daddy tried to put me in a cannon. It was a good day!
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!
Yesterday, I went to Ben’s 4th birthday party! Ben’s Mommy used to be my Mommy’s intern at Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and they live about 30 miles away in Vancouver, WA.
Ben showed me how to use a squirt gun (I kept squirting in my face), I tried a juice box (it was okay), was completely obsessed with squirting Torani syrups into a cup (didn’t try any of my concoctions, though), and lusted after the Hot Wheels garage Ben got for his birthday (can’t wait for MY birthday).
