Spring Training in Phoenix

Nik and I were hoping to get out of the bad weather by going down to Phoenix to visit family and to watch some Spring Training baseball. We got to see the LaDukes and my Dad which was so much fun and we got to go to Spring Training, but the weather wasn't quite what we were hoping for. It rained and the high was about 65. Hey... it was still better than the weather in Portland so we were still happy.

We had so much fun spending time with our nieces, Callie and Avery, and our nephew Liam. We played with dolls, had a music recital and we even went to the aquarium. Addie was a wonderful host. She made us dinner almost every night and she shuffled us around town. Dad was great hanging out with us along the way. Nik and he got to go golfing on Monday and we managed to fit in 2 Spring Training games along the way (Rockies vx Dodgers and Giants vs Diamondbacks). Nik and I also got to spend a lunch with his cousin Sara and her daughter Mattie at PF Changs. Sara's husband runs the restaurant, so he joined in whenever he could.

It was an awesome weekend. Nik and I were so happy to spend some quality time with our family. We loved every minute of it.

Girl's Night Out and Enjoying the Sun

Some girlfriends and I got together over the weekend and enjoyed a swanky night out at Departure (a Portland hotspot). It is located on top of the Macy's building and the hotel The Nines. We enjoyed a wonderful asian fusion dinner and some delicious Champagne. Luckily, it was a beautiful night out, so we got to see some of the great views of the city.

Shel, myself, Haley and Allison

The next day was gorgeous. Nik and I have been feeling the weather blues a little lately, so it was so nice to have great weather on the only day we have off together. We took the dogs to the dog park and let them play and play. Then we headed to a friends house for a BBQ and more dog play time. The dogs are still tired;-)
