Port-lyn - November 2016

   For Chuck's 30th birthday I surprised him with a trip to Portland!  When I listed off a couple places we should go one day he said "Portland would be cool." and that was that.

   Surprise trips are hard.  But somehow I put it all together, got him time off work, planned out our days and optional plans and of course hotels, rental car, plane tickets.  Planning and replanning and searching for "must see" "must do" "must eat"'s.

   A week before his birthday/our trip, I let him open his "present."  I got him a new travel backpack and some travel size toiletries and then let him guess.  P O R T L A N D.  And to top it off, my parents were coming to Arizona to watch our babies. A kid-free trip!
