Visitors!!


We love having visitors!! We had long been anticipating a visit from Kirk and Lindsey and the day finally arrived! T picked them up from the airport and introduced them to Portland by night. The following day, they were able to pick up C who was just arriving back from San Francisco. T had to work so the three of them spent the day touring a little bit, running errands and assisting in the delivery of our new Snuggler couch (which we LOVE!!). Friday was spent hanging out around the neighborhood. T took Friday off and we had a wonderful day just enjoying the weather and company. We made it to downtown Portland for lunch at a wonderful restaurant near Powell's Books. Saturday found us on an adventure attempting to reach a hidden waterfall near Multnomah Falls. We started off on a trail which soon led us to a creek. We, of course, couldn't stop there, so we decided to take off our socks and shoes and go wading. Mind you, the outside temp was barely 60 and the water temp was so cold it made our legs tingle, but on we pushed. K and C were very brave (or crazy!!) and continued on all the way to the waterfall. Lindsey and T, however, decided to call it quits and make our way back. Eventually we thawed out and enjoyed our lunch at the picnic area by Multnomah Falls. That evening we made it over to Whole Foods, a wonderful gourmet grocery store that has incredible samples on the weekends! Afterwards, we relaxed in the hot tub and made the most delicious tacos (and not so delicious brownies...) Unfortunately, Sunday came all too soon which meant K and L had to head home. BUT, we are really looking forward to the next visit!!! We love you guys!
