Family Vacation in Portland, OR

We took a quick trip to Portland, OR, last month for a family vacation. Brooke's cousin, Eric, got married in Sunnyside, WA, and we decided to go down a few days early and enjoy my old stomping grounds. We took full advantage of the Condo in Portland (which was wonderful). The picture above (and at the end of this post) was taken out the back door in front of the marina. The kids also enjoyed the pool and we took a wonderful walk along a paved path that follows the Columbia.Grandpa Bradley was in Portland the first night we were there, so we were lucky enough to enjoy lunch and dinner with him. When Grandpa Bradley is in Portland, he drives his little '78 Porcshe, which he bought in honor of the year he opened Sound Security's doors in Everett, WA. The license plate reads SSI '78. Brighton and Max are "driving" the Porsche above, and thought it was pretty cool.
