'Holla' to the Northwest

We took a quick trip this weekend up to Spokane with Jared's brother Nate and had a great time staying with my parents. We had a layover in Portland the day we left so we took the Maxx into downtown and went to our favorite spot...Stumptown Coffee. We loved spending the couple hours in Portland, we loved the time with my parents, Jared's dad and Debbie, seeing my friend Ashlee (who looks so cute 5 months prego), we loved the homecooked meals and Papa Murphy's pizza which we don't have down here :(, we loved playing Yahtzee, going downtown, taking a drive with just me and my parents out on the prarie, and Jared and Nate loved going up to Priest Lake to open the cabin on Saturday with their dad. We did a lot in a short amount of time and we're so grateful for Nate who got us the free tickets to make it all happen! Thanks bro!
On the Maxx, headed into Portland. Btw-if you ever have a layover there, do not hesitate to go into downtown...it's super easy, cheap and fast and Portland is the greatest! It's one of our favorite spots!

Mmmmmmmmm.......


This was on one of the staircases at Stumptown...which is adjacent to a cool, modern hotel. This staircase takes you up to a sitting room where we enjoyed our coffees.

The one shot of Priest Lake Jared got before the battery on the camera went out. We've got to get better at remembering to charge our batteries!!! :)
*Side note: Somehow we didn't get any other pictures with family or friends, but I think it's because we were having so much fun with them! So...next time I guess! :)

I don't think it gets much better than that... taking a quick weekend to the PNW to see your family, best friend, the lake, and of course eat amazing homemade meals by Jan Pike ;)
