Spring Break in Portland!

Things don't always turn out the way that you had planned, but sometimes they turn out better!

We had planned on taking the kids to the Zoo in Portland, so after our dentist appointments yesterday, we got in the car and headed to Portland. We stopped off at Chevy's and had dinner. My cousin Kelly met us there, she lives in Portland but she travels a lot. She just happened to be in town, so it was great to spend some time with her! After dinner we checked in to the Embassy Suites at Washington Square and went straight to the pool. My kids LOVE to swim. They instantly made friends with some of the other 25 kids in the pool, playing volleyball with a beachball they found, snorkeling and shooting water guns. We had to drag them out at 9:00pm! This morning we got up to go to the Zoo and it was pouring rain!!! OH NO! So we went down to breakfast and threw out some options for plan B. We finally came up with a consensus of . . . swimming again, picking out a small toy and going to a movie, with promises to go to the Zoo soon. Going to the Zoo was the only thing that Sam wanted to do for Spring Break, so I feel bad for him, but I must say that picking out a toy was a pretty good second. Well we are off to "Race to Witch Mountain", I love Spring Break!
