First things first: After a long flight, the girls experience their first-ever Happy Meals.
Next, the family visits the Portland Rose Garden before the three-hour drive to Newport/Waldport.
Evie just loves to smell the roses.
A quick stop at the Japanese Tea Gardens. (This is before we saw the "Keep off the Grass" sign.)
What can be so fascinating, you ask?
Only giant koi fish, of course.
Not the picture I intended to take.

What a wonderful trip! Love the pics! Not too many for my taste!
Great pics. Reminds me of the beach back home. Looks like you had a great trip. BTW Thanks for you kind words on my blog.
Wish we were there too!
They look like they loved the Roses. I remember we had a great time there too.
By the way, Happy Early Birthday Click! Hope it is wonderful!
I love the pictures! Did they really want you to stay off of the lawn at the gardens--that annoys me, what good is a lawn if you can't play on it?
Thanks for the good mail, I loved the card and am very impressed with your new talent. :)
It looks like you had an amazing adventure!
And as I shuffle off to ponder *not* doing fast food for lunch, I commend your resiliant power at not giving the girls Happy Meals for the first two years of their lives!
i love the pics of your little girls! i love twins and wouldn't mind having me a set one day :)
It looks like you had a lovely time out west! Those photos of the girls on the beach are great--not exactly sunbathing weather, it seems. I can't wait to hear more about your trip!
