Two weeks ago, I went on another airplane ride! We went to Portland for my
godmother's wedding! I'll tell you more about that in my next post. Aunt Hilary came with us to help take care of me since it was going to be pretty busy for Mommy and Daddy. Mommy and Aunt Hilary and I left on Wednesday afternoon. The plane ride was 3 1/2 hours long, but I did great! I read books, played with toys, played with Aunt Hilary's iPad (so awesome!), and even ate dinner on the plane. By the time we got there, I was super tired, so we went straight to the hotel, and I went to bed.

Then the next day, Daddy was there too and we drove to my godfather, Shane's house. We had breakfast and visited for a little while, and then Daddy stayed with Uncle Shane to get ready to drive to Sunriver, which is where the wedding was and where we stayed all weekend, and Mommy and Aunt Hilary and I went to visit the International Rose Garden in Portland. There were so many pretty flowers!

After visiting the garden, we got in the car and drove down to Sunriver, too. I slept almost all the way there, and then went to the house with Aunt Hilary and Daddy and Shane to settle while Mommy went to the bachelorette party. The house we stayed in was so big! It had a huge playroom with 5 or 6 couches, and pool table, 2 tables to eat at, and a big kitchen. I had so much fun crawling and cruising all around it!
On Friday, I went with Mommy and Aunt Hilary to get their nails done, and then we went with Mommy's friend Leah to visit this awesome old volcano. It was like a mountain, only black! A long time ago, it went off and lava (that's this bright red, really hot stuff) came out of it and went everywhere, so it made all these cool paths. It was pretty cool stuff!

Saturday morning, we went for a hike with some of Mommy and Daddy's friends before the wedding, and we saw a beautiful lake and some big mountains. The biggest mountain we saw is called "South Sister." There are 3 sister mountains, just like Mommy and her 2 sisters! South Sister is the closest one to Sunriver, and it's super big and pretty!

We saw a pretty eagle flying over the lake,
and we even got to see it dive down to catch a fish!
It was so cool! |
Saturday afternoon was the wedding, and then Sunday we got up and drove to Sisters, Oregon, a little town in the middle of the 3 sister mountains. It was a very cute little town, and we ate yummy lunch at a yummy restaurant and walked around some stores before getting back on the road to Portland. I slept almost all of that car ride, too. Once we got back to Portland, we decided to take a ride in this thing called a gondola so we could see some pretty views of the city from up high. It's like a car, but instead of having wheels it glides up and down on a cable in the air. It was really cool!

It was such a pretty day that you could see Mount Hood,
a super big mountain outside Portland |
After that, it was time to grab some dinner and head back to the hotel by the airport in time for bed and then catch our flight home the next morning. It was such a fun vacation! I had such a good time visiting my godparents and seeing all of the pretty trees and mountains in Oregon. It's such a beautiful place! I hope I get to go back again someday!
