Portland 2-day trip

Both the boys had off for two days in a row, so we decided to get away for two days. We had talked about going to where there was snow, but we just could not find a place that was inexpensive. Everything was just too expensive. We found that we could go to Portland overnight and not spend too much money. Here is a glimpse into our two days away.

Hot Topic store (lots of junk)

We had a great time away for two days. It was what we all needed. We will try to continue to get away from now on sometime in January. It gives us something to look forward to...especially since January is such a boring month. It was a lot of fun!
