Alton and his Grammy

No, Alton has not been winning any awards for his vocal stylings (although we think his little squawks are extremely musical), he had a visit from his Grammy Jennifer! Andy's mom came up on the 4th of July for a nice visit to the new house and fun times with us before her granddaughter is born later in the summer. It was not her first visit to Portland, but the last time she came to visit it snowed! So the sweltering 80 and 90 degree heat was a pretty big change.
We started out with a trip to Pittock Mansion, a historical Portland home near Washington Park with great views of the Rose City below.


The Portland International Rose Test Garden was a must-see and full of gorgeous blooms..


We made a trip out to the windy coast to Cannon Beach with dog in tow...

And rounded out our fun visit with a picnic at our favorite local park!
