Spring Break...

This year Andy, Tyler, and I traveled to Portland and Seattle for Spring Break. This was Tyler's third trip on a plane in his 11 months of life and we all had so much fun. We definitely did some great tourist things and also hit up a couple of nice "local" restaurants which is our favorite thing to do on our vacations. We realize that this might be coming to an end very soon due to Tyler discovering that he has the ability to be very loud in restaurants and the other customers don't really appreciate it. Oh well, what can you do, right? Here are some pictures to explain what we did on vacation.

Tillamook had a great ice creamery but I gave that up for Lent, so I couldn't enjoy any.

Great photos, Rachel! I'm so glad the weather behaved for you guys at least a little. I can't believe that pig's name is Rachel! I never even knew that. Hilarious. We had a great time, and I'm glad you got to see a lot AND relax some too. Come back after I defend and we can actually have real time to hang out!

Looks like you had a great time! I loved the dugout and sunset pics...very cute family photos!

I hope you told Drew Carey that he really stinks on the Price Is Right...I can barely stand to watch him on there.

These pics are so good. You really got around to see a lot of sites. Glad you got to see Alyssa & Chris. Tyler looked like he was having fun. Back to the grind now, heh?

Love,
