We went to Portland! Did you know that? It was fun. We spent the weekend after Thanksgiving in a fancy new hotel in downtown Portland. We took the train down, hung out with our friends who live in Portland, did some X-mas shopping (Oregon has no sales tax), saw the Trailblazers play the Hornets (Blazers won by a bunch), and spent a lot of time lounging in the hotel pretending to be rich. Here's some pictures:
Staying in fancy hotels is one of the perks I get for working in a fancy hotel in Seattle. If anybody out there wants us to stay in a fancy hotel in your city, please let us know. We're hoping to get real good at it.
Meanwhile back in Seattle... it's Christmas Time!
Some holiday lights in our neighborhood.
Our little (fake) Charlie Brown tree with presents!
and X-mas time means toys!! The Spongebob Legos are officially for Heather's classroom (but I get to test 'em out) and in the back you can see our Playmobile Advent calender display. Playmobile Advent Calenders are the coolest.
Also, just in time for the holidays, Seattle was treated to a rare snowstorm last night.
Snow in Seattle is actually kind of exciting because the city doesn't have any snow removal trucks, or salt, or de-icer, or anything, and half the people in the city don't know how to drive on frozen roads so things get "interesting" real quick. Especially when it stays cold and the ice doesnt melt.
Okay, I'll try to blog again sometime before holidays. Happy Snow Days everyone!
