Jarrett & I celebrated our five year wedding anniversary with a trip (our last one before Lindsay's born) to Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. We were able to use some airline miles that were about to expire and flew up to Portland Thursday evening. Why the Northwest? For one, I wanted to keep our flights less than 2 hrs, and two, Jarrett and I have both never been further North than San Francisco. When we arrived it was rainy, but so beautiful! We went to the Japanese Gardens, drank a ton of coffee (me decaf of course) and walked hand in hand with our umbrellas all over downtown Portland.

Friday night we had to go see "New Moon" and Jarrett was so sweet to see it with me, being one of the four guys in the theater amongst the screaming teenagers...lol. Saturday morning we woke up and rented a car to drive to Seattle, WA, a two hour car ride north. We never mind the car ride, we actually prefer it.
It was so much fun to see the countryside, trees and lakes alongside the freeway. The trees and leaves were so many colors- it was absolutely beautiful. We spent two days in Seattle and visited the Space Needle, took a harbor cruise, and walked around Pike's Market.

Jarrett's favorite part was touring the University of Washington and checking out their Student Union. We flew home on Tuesday in time for Carol's birthday and Thanksgiving!
What a wonderful trip! I miss Portland! :-( I've been trying to convince Micah that oregon is beautiful and a great place to live, so we'll see! Glad you guys got away!! Quick trips are ALWAYS fun! Can't wait to see you guys in less than a month! Love you, M, J, G & F Happy belated anniversary!
