Gigi's Visit & A Whirlwind NW Experience


Gigi arrived this week to spend a few days with the family in San Diego.  Harrison was thrilled to have Gigi join us in our daily activities, including a few trips to the park, a cold day spent at the nursery picking out trees,

checking out airplanes on our walk,


and just relaxing around the house.



And then back to the Northwest: so lush, green and lovely... refreshingly foodie and eclectic.  Although this felt like a whirlwind experience, a few favorite moments from our time in Portland and Hood River included a gorgeous hike along the river where I spotted this ground cover after a morning rain...

A dinner with my favorite brother at Pok Pok (this thai street dessert however sent me over the edge)...

And of course we had to make a trip or two to St. Honore patisserie where Harrison and the rest of us indulged in some greatly missed croissants and other delightful treats.






After a few days in Portland visiting family, we made our way up to Hood River where we rented an adorable house dangerously close to our favorite coffee shop (Ten Speed).  I was able to savor a daily latte made to perfection...Aaahhhh....pure indulgence.  Harrison loved our daily walks to coffee, getting bites of breakfast sandwiches and checking out the roasting equipment.
