We decided to head to Portland, Oregon for a few days while Sean was working down there. I got online and started searching for some fun things to do with the kids. It is never fun traveling and being stuck in a hotel room with 3 kids who all end up bored after 10 minutes. The drive down was fast and uneventful, we left at lunch time so everyone would be full and happy. Brayden took his nap while we were driving and we got to Sean's hotel room in time to unload and decide where we were going for dinner. We ended up going to T.G.I.Fridays and we went past where Sean was working along one of the freeways. The next morning we got up and started our day by heading from Beaverton to downtown Portland. As we were driving down the road Hunter yelled out "there's a bubble in the sky mommy". I asked him if he wanted to go in the bubble and he yelled "yes", Lotus thought I was kidding and when she figured out that I wasn't she was smiling from ear to ear.
I decided for my first stop with the kids to be the Portland Aerial Tram. There isn't anything exciting at either end of the tram just a lot of specialty medical offices. Sean was working up at the top when he was in Portland before he went to Wyoming. He told me that the view was beautiful and so I decided to take the kids and see what they thought. Hunter was in love with the gears and how things worked, Lotus loved the view of the city and was excited that we were going to be traveling on wires and Brayden was just happy if the other kids were happy. Hunter was thrilled that we were going in a bubble so high off the ground and that made my whole day! It was a short trip up and we found the bathrooms and then took it back down, it was a really great way to see the city views. It was cool to see another project of Sean's and Lotus and I really got a kick out of the walkway between two of the buildings that looked like it was suspended in air. It was fun playing a tourist :)
