The boys and I headed to Portland to visit my friend Kara, take advantage of $2 Tuesday at the zoo, and bring Kara and Sierra back with us. It was a tiring trip over, even for me, but very peaceful. Aren't kids cute when they are sleeping!
This is JJ's third trip to this zoo, one of my favorites. We were a little bummed this trip that the train didn't let people off at a great park this time of year, but it was still fun to ride. Sierra slept in her front-pack for most of her first outing to the zoo, so she isn't featured much in the pics!
One of my favorite parts this year was seeing the sealions from under the water.
Jacob was a little scared to get too close to the glass, JJ put his arm around him for comfort. Too cute, I almost cried!
We finally got to see the polar bears. They have been "hiding" all the other times we've been there. This was Jacob's first trip to the zoo where he really enjoyed and understood things. He loved it!

They had a new baby there too, but he was inside and I couldn't get a good picture of him. Check out our noses...it was cold!!!!
Jacob missed the elephant and penguins due to a much needed nap!
Our last day there the boys and I went to The Old Speghetti Factory and got to sit in the trolley. This was the first time I have taken the boys to a sitdown restaurant by myself. They did really well and it was a lot of fun to "go out" with them.
Jacob, my picky eater, actually loved my mizithra speghetti, along with 4 pieces of bread, apple sauce, half a grilled cheese, and a bowl of ice cream! Looks like we will have to go more often!

Love the picture of you and JJ w/ the elephant in the background - looks like a fun - but tiring trip.
Nice work on a little road trip by yourself! We need to go to the zoo with our kids soon, that would be a great day trip!
I LOVED the one picture of Jacob with the polar bear behind him! Sounds like you had a great time!!!
