We survived our first vacation on a plane! We got new shoes for the occasion so that we could run around a lot!  Here is a video of us wearing shoes for the first time.

We had lots of fun in Portland and Seattle.  Here is a picture of us being good at the airport.

 

This was before Avery’s minor meltdown.  Mommy and daddy had to pick him up, but he was having so much fun running around the airport.  Apparently he wanted to let all of Sky Harbor know that his parents ruined his life 😉 We did great on the plane.  Such good babies!  We stayed at a wonderful airb&b in Portland.  The people we stayed with also had babies, so we even got to play with some of their toys!

Mommy and daddy took us to a local farmer’s market down the street.  We bought some really great blueberries, raspberries, cherries, bread and goat cheese for dinner.

We went to see Multomah Falls, which was gorgeous.  We hiked all the way to the top!

Portland was full of great parks for us.  We visited them a lot and got to run around – our favorite thing now!  We even made some new friends!

Shots captured mid-fall.

Aurelia got a new hat!  She looks so much like her great grandma, Pauline!  A Callahan through and through!  Avery looks a lot like daddy, but with mommies eyes 🙂

We were very interested in our new little friend!

We went for a hike in Washington Park.  Beautiful!

 

Downtown Portland!

We enjoyed visiting the famous Powell’s Books!  We did not, however, wait in the 20 minute line to get a famous Voodoo Doughnut.

 

More park fun! (On the video you can hear Avery make his monkey noise…which apparently he is confusing for the same noise crows make).

Some shopping in our neighborhood.  It had some great restaurants- good sandwiches at Lardo’s, and great pizza!  We also passed out so mom and dad could eat their ice cream 🙂  We found a store that sells chocolate and salt- mom’s favorite!  We did come away with a PBJ chocolate bar..

More park fun, and a video of Aurelia’s nemesis… the stick!

We headed up to Seattle to see Kye.  Washington is beautiful!  It was nice to see Kye, and we got to go to the zoo!  We pet some goats, too

!

Aurelia is still very much a momma’s girl.  She even says Momma now all the time!  Which is the cutest! Avery just loves the ladies in general 😉  Of course they both love their daddy!

On our final day we went to the aquarium, and we loved looking at the fish.  We went to the famous Pike’s Market, and then played some more in the park by the zoo!

We were good on the trip home, too.  Luckily, the guy sitting next to mommy was very nice and patient and let both babies stick post-its and bandaids all over him 🙂 Our next adventures include San Diego, Disneyland, New York, and London, so stay tuned!
