The big city

Vienne took her first real trip to the "big city" back in July of 2014. Sure, she was born in Portland, and lived the first 18 months of her life there, but being so young she hadn't really experienced living in a "metropolis". (Notice all the quotes...Portland is "big", but not that big).

We had an action packed day, starting downtown and looking up at all the tall buildings - much taller than anything we have in Salem. We visited Portlandia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlandia_%28statue%29), Pioneer Square, got some ice cream, rode on the Max, went to Papa's work at Caldera located in the Pearl District (which is where Mama used to live before she met Papa), went swimming in Jamison Fountain, rode the street car to the OHSU tram, took it to the top and looked out over the city at the observation deck, then headed home back to Salem. These pictures are only a fraction of what we did that day. I took more video than stills, which I may post at some point if I get a chance.
