We were lucky enough to spend 9 days together on a wonderful road trip up the Pacific Northwest last week! We were headed for Washington and on the way we also saw and stopped at places in Oregon, Montana and Idaho! We chose the scenic routes rather then the fastest ways and it was awesome!

Very fun! I'm glad you guys had such a good trip!
It sounds like you made this trip well worth it!!
Of course andy's favorite part is adult shoes.
PS. I think you forgot one thing... that special parade you went to in portland.
You got a lot of cute pictures! I am glad you guys had a great time and that the boys were good for you. I was planning on calling you to get together yesterday or today but I have had the worst longest headache! It seems like it will never go away.
Oh I'm so jealous! That looks so fun! I can't believe you didn't hit Las Vegas on your way there!
