Portland!

In the beginning of September we flew up to Portland to be with the whole family for the weekend for cousin Kristin and Benji's wedding! We were there for the entire Labor day weekend (plus some) and loved every minute of it.
It was an amazing weekend. Great location. Great weather. Great family. Beautiful wedding (and bride & groom of course).
Here are some fun pictures from our time there. The Forestry center was decorated beautifully for the big day.

The blushing bride and her sister before the ceremony.

AJ played and sang an amazing song that he had written for the Kristin and Benji while she walked down the isle.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Erdmann!

I made them dance with me while my wonderful husband rested his tired feet. :)

Off to Maui!

The Fam.

The rest of our time there was filled with walking through Portland, Powell's Books, wonderful meals with the family, and relaxing!
Deschutes Brewery for some good cousin time.



At the end of our trip, Joey and I "sacrificed" our seats on our plane home for $600 dollars from Alaksa Airlines and a flight home the next morning along with an extra free night in Portland. Thanks Alaska! We were able to connect with dear friends
Maia and Jeff (Lindsey worked at camp with Maia five years ago and has only seen her once since!) for some frozen yogurt which made our extra time in Portland even more worth it.
Overall, we LOVED it and can't wait to go back and visit sometime!
