Apartment shopping

We went up to Portland this weekend for Bristol's 1st birthday party and to do some apartment shopping. The birthday party was really fun and the weather cooled down very nicely so we weren't sweating in the sun but still able to play outside. Bria had fun playing with all the kids and eating a cupcake, she seriously devoured the cupcake. Oh and we found out she likes hot dogs, another food I can give her! I'm thinking mac 'n cheese with cut up hot dogs :)

During Bria's nap both Saturday and Sunday we left her sleeping at Heather's while we went to look at apartments. I had fun, although it did get a little old after awhile because they all started looking the same. Brian, however, was Mr. Impatient crankster, which was quite humorous to me considering that is usually my role. I mean, we got cherry limeades at Sonic, how can you be cranky after that?! We did find a few apartments we liked, one of which was in our price range, but we're not done looking yet...lucky Brian ;)

On Sunday morning we went to The Bite on the riverfront in Portland and had a lot of fun walking around, eating, and observing. Bria particularly enjoyed a large raft that we let her play in, or boat as she called it. Just one of the many activities we are looking forward to living in a big city!

Bad Mommy forgot Bria's shades, hence the glare on Bria's face ;)

Now we are already 2 days into the week and Brian's last day at UPS is tomorrow!

Holy cow, we're moving to Portland. This small town girl needs to learn how to drive in real traffic.
