Friday morning - just waiting for Auntie Nenny to get off of work (she took the afternoon off). So we lounged around in our hotel room and watched some cartoons on cable TV, which we don't have at home. Right here, I think it was Sponge Bob Square Pants that was on.
After Jen & Tony picked us up at our hotel, they took us out for a yummy lunch downtown - then we caught the MAX to the Portland Zoo for the afternoon.
Who needs a bunch of souvenirs from the gift shop? The boys were elated by the free zoo maps we were given as we entered.
Jen & Tony - It was so fun to have a couple days to spend with them in Portland!
Sea otters and sea anemones
Tide pool creatures
seals (I think?)
Drowsy polar bear
Whistling at some animals to get their attention
So much to see!
Big orangutan
Again with the maps!
Seriously, Grayson slept holding his map for the next several nights...and still treasures it, nearly a month later at home.
Greta was sleepy and slept in her Sleepy Wrap throughout most of the tour.
She woke up smiling.
After catching the train back to a stop near their apartment, we walked there and relaxed while relishing the delicious aroma of Tony's cooking in the kitchen.
Tony, whipping up some fabulous beef burritos.
Time got away from us, however - and Tony's band had a scheduled concert that evening that he and Jen had to get to. So he bundled up a big batch of burritos for us to take with us. Gary and I had really wanted to see Tony's band perform, but Gary had to work late at KGW and Greta has hit an age where only Mommy can get her to sleep at night. So in spite of Jen's gracious offer to babysit, we had to pass on a night out. But we thoroughly enjoyed these scrumptious burritos to go!
The boys and I devoured our dinner at the Hilton, and Gary truly appreciated the wonderful meal when he joined us, after his day at the station.
Another fun day was had - and we enjoyed relaxing in our hotel - our final night of vacation.
