Portland & Vegas

Two weeks ago Elsie and I headed up with my parents to Portland to see my brother, sister-in-law and Amy! It was a long drive but Elsie actually did really well! I think we watched the same episode of Elmo 35 times, but it got us through! Portland is gorgeous and we had so much fun! It was so fun to finally see where Amy lives and Elsie loved seeing Doug and Harley the dogs! We stayed with my brother and sister-in-law and it was great to catch up with them and visit! We miss them when they are gone!! Elsie was so shy and nervous around my borther it was pretty funny! If she was getting mad he would just have to say "Shh" and she would instantly stop! It was amazing! They live right in the city so we just walked around and went shopping. ate lots of yummy food, walked around the river, when to Washington Park and hung out. If you are ever up there you have to get a chocolate shake at Moonstruck... best thing ever!  One of the days my mom, Kaen, Amy, Elsie and I went to Cannon Beach. It was the cutest place ever!! Elsie of course Loved the beach and all the dogs! She was so happy! We went to the cutest candy shop and loaded up and Elsie and Dave's favorite treats! We were sad to leave and had so much fun in Portland!!

The day after we got back we left Elsie with my mom and Dave and I headed to Vegas to stay at The Trump with Mike and Traci! It was a much  needed vacation! It was the most relaxing thing ever! We got to take naps and sleep in and actually lay out at the pool. We had relaxing dinners, shopped, went to a movie, went to the spa and we sent and saw la Reve! It was amazing! I would totally recommend the show!
