Hello, Portland

Zach, Dax, and I headed west this past weekend to visit Erin and Nik in Portland.  It was a big adventure for our new little family.  Ten hours of driving each way with a three week old.  Zach was a driving machine, Dax was a sleeping machine, and well I was in charge of everything in between.

Erin and Nik were kind enough to host us for the weekend in their great apartment in the Pearl District.  I think meeting their new nephew was a good reason to have us close by. They made us feel right at home.


While in town we also had the opportunity to research a new vehicle for our family.  The ride out was a little uncomfortable for three but the ride back was like a much needed vacation.

Zach and Dax were getting pretty good at city life.  Meals out, strolling around town, and commuting became routine. 
 Erin & Nik cooked us a feast for Mother's Day breakfast before we headed back to Idaho.  We loved our visit to Portland and hope to visit again soon!

We were so glad you guys made it out. As short as it was, we were able to fall in love with little Dax and spend time with the new parents. You guys are really adapting well. We love you!

I'm so happy to hear the trip was a success. What a fun getaway and great that Dax got to meet his aunt and future uncle. Sweet truck, too. Welcome to the Tundra club, friends.
