Adam's Race in Portland

ADAM is da BOMB!!!

Yeah that is right, Adam rocks!! We drove and stayed the weekend in Portland so that Adam could run a 15 k for ST. Patricks Day. He is such a "Go-Getter" and now "Big Thinker" going to school and all:) No, All jokes aside I am very proud of my Man, when he puts his mind to something he is going to finish it. It just so happened that Amy was able to come with us because it fell right on her spring break in school. She was such a joy to have and lifted my spirits, because I have been still going through multiple procedures. We were so excited Amy decided to come visit us during her spring break!!! I was in real need of some sister time and we just had a blast. We did a lot of stuff while she was here and even got to take a trip to Portland. Olivia and Asia adores Amy!!! Amy helped me out a lot with the house, but it was just so fun to talk to her and be together! Here are some great pics from the trip:)

We started out the trip with an almost all day trip to the NIKE Employee store. Adam had lunch with some big wigs and got us a one time ticket. The kiddos did great and it was really nice having Amy there with us. While we were shopping the Detroit Pistons basketball team were shopping as well. I can honestly say this was one of Adam's best days here in Oregon!! After the store we went to campus and got to look at the nike training facilities.

We kind of splurged and stayed at the Marriot-downtown, which was right across the street from the Waterfront park-starting and finish line for the race. The day before the race we were able to hang out around the big city and see all the sites. We got to go to the Saturday market and shop and enjoyed some yummy hamburgers at a local joint there as well. That night we enjoyed swimming and ordering pizza that was delivered right to the hotel.

Adam did great in the race the next morning and we were able to just walk across the street and actually got to see him finish. We ate breakfast at the hotel and went to the Portland Temple Visitors center, which was so fun! They have a lot of different fun interactive games and a great video. After the temple we had to say goodbye to AMY :( We dropped her off at the airport and little did we know her plane had difficulties and she had to stay the night in Portland. But overall, it was a great trip to Portland!!!
