Another Great Trip!!

This past weekend the Crowley girls did our annual girls trip- this year we went to Portland. Brooke lives about an hour from Portland, so the first night we went back to her house and saw the kids then Friday morning {right as tsunami warning were coming} we headed to the Oregon coast for two days!
It was a really fun trip, and I had never been to the Portland area before- it was really wet and raining like I'd imagined, but it was beautiful!!

The sisters & little Alex :)
{Kate, me, Carrie and Brooke}

Carrie & I pretty much have the same due date! She is pregnant with her 4th. She has three girls, and she's thinking of letting this one be a surprise!!

Cameron invented these all by himself. He asked Brooke for some empty milk jugs and filled them with rocks and made some sweet weights! I thought it was so creative!

The view of the Columbia River from Brook's backyard. Across the river is Oregon- technically Brooke lives is southern WA.

Brooke's pooches...

On the way home from the airport we stopped at Multnomah falls... the whole drive home we spotted random waterfalls all over, it was beautiful!

Then we were in Lincoln Falls, OR- right on the coast.

We did so many fun things.

• We scared ourselves about tsunamis {not funny, but scary!}
  
• we ate a wholeeee lot- including celebrating Brooke's birthday with "There's no such things as to much chocolate pie" - it was yummy!!
  
• We did some outlet shopping {without sales tax-wahoo!}
• we tried to buy some groceries for a homeless man and his dog, but then he ran away
• We ate some delicious seafood- much to Brooke and Kate's dismay
• Went seashell hunting- and Brooke found a giant starfish already dried sitting on the beach, I let her take it since it was already dried and dead :)
• we watched fun movies in the sweet "media room" in the room above the garage
• we went in the spa
• And laughed and laughed and laughed!
  

We ordered in Chinese our last night... yummy!

These next pictures are snap shots of the beach house we stayed in. We LOVED it. It seriously looked like it was straight from a pottery barn magazine. The colors in each room were amazing.Even the sheets and pillow cases were top notch quality and brands. It was so fun, and so relaxing to stay there.

This cute room had two beds that looked just like this

Thanks mom and sisters for a fun weekend, can't wait till next year!

This video of Alex and Audrey makes me laugh. They are so funny together and say the funniest things, in the video I said I wasn't going to post it- but I couldn't help myself!!
