Travel: Portland Market
The Portland Market, well the Saturday Market. It’s open on Saturdays from March until the end of December. We left Portland, Oregon on Saturday morning and this was our last stop before heading home. Portland Market Perhaps I’ve been spoiled in the market area, yet this market wasn’t too exciting. We expected a lot of local grown fruit, vegetables and local eats. There were only a few food vendors and I couldn’t find a single tent selling local grown food. Odd. The arts and crafts,…

Travel: Space Needle Seattle
The Space Needle Seattle has been an attraction I’ve wanted to visit ever since I watched The Jetson’s in 1987. Elroy is so cool. The neat part about visiting the Space Needle is when you walk in you walk up this huge ramp and it’s full of retro themed photos – even The Jetson’s! Basically, it’s like a little museum. We had City Passes, which means we visited twice – once during the day and again at night. If you’re only going to make one…

Travel: Time Square Suites Vancouver
I flat out love Vancouver. This wonderful city, however, is a tad pricy and finding a beautiful place to stay at a reasonable rate was a little challenging.

Travel: Vancouver Aquarium
The Vancouver Aquarium is a spot we hit up on our recent trip to Vancouver. It wasn’t on our ‘agenda’ of sorts, since we were planning on seeing the Seattle Aquarium, yet Bryce’s face just lit up when he heard that Stanley Park had an Aquarium. So, we went and had an awesome time – the best afternoon! If you like jellyfish, then you’ll love the Vancouver Aquarium – it’s filled with so many of them. Oh, and a bonus, they are an educational and…
