Oregon Trip

T & D

Date #32

D and I took a little trip without the kiddos to attend one of D's buddy's wedding.  D was a groomsman in the wedding.  We stayed in a house with nearly the whole wedding party and bride and groom (11 people total) and it was a blast.  Between the wedding dinner, the wedding itself, and then a little exploration of Portland the day we left - I think it was easily a months worth of dates.  We had such an incredible time and played and connected in a way we don't get to do very often!

I love going to weddings - its so romantic and just reminds us of our own wedding - which often seems so long ago (and other times like yesterday).  Not to mention in was one of the most beautiful weddings I could even imagine in one of the most beautiful places.  It was fun to play newlywed and party with our friends without the kids for a few days - but love coming home to our real life, cause nothing is more rewarding than that.

One of our favorite parts was the last day we had a few hours to kill before our plane took off and so we jumped on the light rail at the airport and just went exploring. We totally stumbled upon the weekend market, which was awesome.  After 2 days surrounded by people and having everything planned, having some time just for us to do whatever we felt like was awesome.  We love traveling and playing with friends, but we also learned we need to do more trips just ourselves (and we loved the no plan, just explore feel)  to really bond and sort of re-live the honeymoon feeling.
