Last week I flew to Portland, Oregon to visit my daughter and her family. My granddaughter was turning four and I didn’t want to miss her birthday! When I left Vermont the snow was almost all gone but there wasn’t much green anywhere.
This past week has been the most glorious weather in Portland, sunny, warm days and cool nights. I couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather. Over the weekend we went on a beautiful hike where there were several waterfalls.
There was also a stunning view of the Columbia River.
My grandchildren may only be 2 & 4 but they love to hike and will just about walk the entire way by themselves!
My other daughter came down from Seattle and we spend a day exploring downtown Portland. It was a crystal clear day and you could see all the mountains.
One of the highlights of the week was celebrating my granddaughters fourth birthday with all of her friends.
The party was held at a nature park where they did some exploring and learned about fairies! I guess fairies are very popular with four year olds!
I enjoyed every minutes of my stay. Traveling in the spring is wonderful because there are so many flowers in bloom everywhere!
I will miss the beautiful weather when I leave almost as much as I will miss my daughter and her family!
