Late morning. We have not been on a schedule and have had leisurely days on this entire trip. It's been nice and very relaxing! Breakfast at the Pig N' Pancake (per Shay's recommendation) and it was delish! We've tried to eat out no more than once or twice a day and this was a worthy meal out! The kids thought the hot chocolate was 2 thumbs up!
Headed over the pass into Portland, driving through our first snow, it sure made it feel like Christmas is upon us!
Getting into Portland after lunch made for a short day since it is dark by about 5pm these days. We headed for the OMSI - Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Since it closes at 5:30 we decided to hit the museum and catch an OMNIMax show on Bugz in the Rain Forest, after seeing the Bugz show (which I fell asleep in), I wish we would have caught the show in the planetarium instead, oh well, the kids had fun. The OMSI is a really neat place and they have so many exhibits and hands on things for you to touch, see and interact with, the kids had a blast!
Knowing that we had an hour drive back to the coast, we didn't get to stay in the city for as long as I had liked. The kids were hungry and tired so home we headed. Tonight we found a great little pizza place off the beaten path, picked up a pie and headed back to our room for dinner and a movie. It was a great day and no rain!
