This Last weekend for Chris' Birthday I decided to surprise him with a trip to Portland to see his favorite comedian, Brian Regan. Chris' Birthday often gets overlooked since Emily's Birthday is on the 4th of July and his is on the 5th. I always try and celebrate his Birthday another weekend when we're not so focused on Birthday parties, Picnics and Fireworks.
I picked him up early from work on Friday and we drove the very long 3 hour drive to Portland. When we arrived we checked into the Benson hotel. It was located right downtown which made it really nice that everything was within walking distance. After checking out our hotel room we went to Voodoo donuts followed by dinner at Pastini. Following dinner we went to the show, which was hilarious. A nice surprise to top off the night was when we were walking back to our hotel we saw a huge film crew and they were filming the cable show Leverage. Chris was so excited because he loves that show. The next morning we went to the Saturday market, breakfast, the outlets and Mutnomah falls. It was such a fun weekend.
Emilys Birthday is on the fourth of July. This year she decided she wanted to have the dreaded sleepover party. It actually wasn't that bad, the girls were very well behaved and I was able to sleep peacefully through the night.
