There are few things that beat a beautiful summer day in Portland.  With outdoor weather just emerging, there are so many things that we have been waiting to do, we almost don’t know what to do first!  Today, we opted for a fun picnic in Wallace Park, followed by a fun hike at the Hoyt Arboretum.  The wild flowers were in full bloom, clear skies revealed incredible views, and we had a wonderful time being amongst the beauty that Portland has to offer.  One of the great things of having such seasonal weather, is the opportunity to rediscover our favorite things every year.  Following the same line of thought, we ended our day eating outside at our neighborhood McMenamins and then the kids enjoyed a special treat at Dairy Queen.  We had such a fun day—we are now counting the minutes until next weekend when we can continue our adventures together!
