Portland

Yesterday, we drove back to Portland so that Talia and I could begin our LONG road trip with my brother for my grandma's memorial. Since Brian was able to turn it into a work trip, Tristan, Talia and I had to find something to do while he was working. We decided it was the perfect opportunity to visit my school as many teachers were already back-to-school prepping, as well as go on some pretty long walks around town. I'm not sure who was more exhausted after our two day Operation Find Things To Do and Wear Out a Toddler adventure. Four+ miles one day, five+ miles the next. Especially since I had to either carry a 30-pounder or find a way to put him on a stroller during most of those walks. Got my exercise in for the month!

These have always been a favorite of T's.

Gelato! A boy after his mom's heart :)

Talia snuggling with Stella at Trav & Bridg's.

It doesn't matter where we are, he always seems to find a guitar. Luckily, Big Grandpa left his guitar at Trav's last time he was there.

Naked Cowboy in the making.
