our little trip to Portland

While we were in Oregon, Joel and I left the kiddos with my parents and drove to Portland for a fun little mini vacation within our vacation! Unfortunately I didn't take any good pictures of us because we were too busy shopping the Nordstrom and IKEA sales (such great timing on our part!!).

We stayed at Hotel Modera. It was modern and hip and oh so Portland-ish!

On our way home we stopped at Voodoo Donuts. Yes, that is a maple bar with bacon on it. I thought it was going to be amazing because I really love bacon, but instead I found myself being grossed out by the giant meat slices on my perfect maple bar delight. So instead my favorite was the fruit loops one.

We also stopped by the Portland LDS temple which was even more beautiful than I had expected, but unfortunately it was closed for maintenance so we just had to look from outside the gate!

Thank you again mom and dad for watching the girls while we were gone!!
