Mom and Dad on their first visit to Portland Oregon-SO FUN!

Thursday night my parents arrived to Portland and we were so happy to see them! Of course we immediately cracked open the wine and started our visit off right! We took them to a local McMennamins (very popular restaurants in Oregon) for dinner and had a nice time. Friday we took my parents to Rex Hill Winery, Duck Pond Winery and Dundee Bistro for lunch! There is not a bad scene in Portland. It is so pretty here! We enjoyed wine tasting and had a wonderful lunch together! In the evening my parents got to see Miles play basketball at the halftime Tualatin High School Basketball game. Miles played awesome and my parents enjoyed watching!!
On Saturday we had a fun filled day. Miles had a basketball and soccer games and played well. We went down town and had lunch at the Rogue Brewery and walked and walked and walked ALL around Portland. We had a great day. We rode the new Portland Tram and saw all the beautiful views of the city! Sunday was ski day on Mt. Hood at Timberline! We all had a fabulous time and the weather was wonderful. The kids are great skiers!!! My parents thought it was so cool that Timberline Lodge is where parts of the movie The Shining was filmed. We had such an excellent weekend!!! I am sad they are gone! Enjoy a few of MANY photos!

I will upload the video of Miles at the half time game a little later!
