Portland

We were recently in Portland, Oregon for Christine and Kristopher's wedding. Lucas had a great time traveling. Many firsts for him. He embarked on his quest to become concert pianist. Just wait till he can reach the pedals!


We stayed in a Marriott Residence Inn, much to Lucas's delight.


He loved rolling/crawling around on the carpet...


...especially if a bag was lying around!


Also, the hotel room had mirrored closet doors which provided hours of entertainment.


Lucas got to meet Uncle Mike (aka The Godfather (not Lucas's)).


We visited the International Rose Test Garden, acres and acres of roses.




Though Portland is about 100 miles from the ocean (I thought it was closer), we took a day trip to the see the Pacific Northwest Coastline, which I had never seen. Neither had Lucas. We stopped at the Ecola State Park (which I keep confusing with Ebola, which is a potentially lethal virus). Lucas enjoyed sand for the very first time. Strangely enough, he didn't try to eat it (which is a good thing, with all that ebola).




And then the wedding! Here's Uncle Erich feeding Lucas as Aunt Lee looks on.


Mmm, beer...


Aunt Jane (his great-aunt) was awesome! She and Lucas had a blast.


Aunt Bunny (aka Christine) and Uncle Kristopher (aka Kristopher) were kind enough to dance with Lucas on their wedding day!


Aunt Bunny has a fascinating necklace. Can Lucas eat it?!?


Too much excitement for a boy of just 7 months.
