Sisters (& Mom) Weekend

We had our first (annual?) sisters weekend in September.  WHAT a BLAST.  I'm so glad we did it.  I think everyone agreed we must do it again.  I don't think we've ever hung out all as sisters like that before.  We were either children still, or we had husbands and our own kids hanging around, which changes the dynamics somewhat.

As a family of girls, we did what girls must do when they are together.  Talk, eat, and shop!  We dedicated one whole day to just shopping, but we also went to Comedy Sportz one night, did the river cruise, and wandered downtown Portland (hello, Powell's books and Voodoo Doughnuts).  It was a short trip, but I think we made the most of it!

Just embarrassing Shannon

Lunch at Cheesecake Factory.  yum !


On the way home, some of us took the long way home and Mom took us by a few of her favorite places.
Awesome nursery that specializes in water gardens



Things may have gotten a little crazy there!

And we took a ferry across the river.  I've never done that before!




We also hit up an antique store.  I loved the wall of faces staring at me.





Oh, yeah, and I finished the weekend with some dental work.  Thanks dad!  I loved looking like a stroke patient for a day!
