Playing Hooky

I am not advocating playing hooky from school, I am a school teacher you know. Here are some pics from a "family vacation" to Portland that just happened to be on a school day.

We took the girls to Powell's book store, they each had $10 to spend. Here is the book that Maddie choose.

Then the girls are just posing in front of the "big buildings" in downtown Portland.

We then took the girls to Grant Park where there are some statues dedicated to the author Beverly Cleary (Maddie loves her books). They are posing with Ramona Quimby.

We ended our afternoon by eating at this cute little restaurant called PB and Ellie's. Ellie loved seeing her name all over the menu. Like I said I don't advocate playing hooky, but we sure did have a good day!!

I am still learning about adding photos, sorry about the unorganization of this post :)
