Jessica and Tara visit or "Take a Step Into Woodstock as Jess Would Say"

I was really excited for Tara and Jessica to come to town and visit me. I love my family and love having visitors. We had a lot of fun and it was a great weekend. 1. We started out with a trip to Newport on Thursday which is about 2 and a half hours away. We went to and Aquarium that was a bit of a dissapointment but we did get to see some seals and sea otters. We also had a very beautiful drive. Are main focus was to find some fresh Crab on the way home but it couldn't be any kind of crab it had to be King Crab for Jessica. We finally found a place that had king crab instead of the whole fresh crab to later find out after we ordered they were out of King Crab. so sad to say Jessica and Tara settled for snow crab. Are plan on Friday night was to go camping at the beach but it decided to rain in oregon (Suprise) so we got all packed up and on the way out there we changed our minds. So we went to Cannon Beach ate at Mo's by the beach and then fulfilled Jessica's wish of building a fire and making Smores. It was raining the whole time but it was fun and we were all sooo tired when we got home. Saturday morning we got going pretty early. Jessica really wanted to exprience Portland so I thought what better than to take her to the Portland Saturday Market. It is a fun place to go with good food good booth's and boy do you see what they mean by Keep Portland WEIRD!!!! As you will see below we saw anything from a preacher yelling on the street to an approximately 80 year old homeless couple posing with the peace sign. We then topped the day off by going to VOODOO Doughnuts. This is the most famous place in Portland and you have to wait about an hour to get doughnuts but the experience and doughnuts are worth it!!! We ate all the doughnuts in two days and I am sure glad they are gone. The doughnuts have really weird names and well see below. It was soooo fun and Micah and I even got a free date out of it while Jess and Tara Babysat we got to go see Harry Potter yeah for family and fun. I sure miss these girls and I wish Tori could have came but maybe next time. Sunday we went to the temple and took some pictures. It was closed for cleaning so we couldn't go inside the grounds but it was still great. Then it was off to the airport where we got there after I missed the exit because we were UGLY facing cars It was great!!! This guy was on the street at the market playing about 5 instruments at once


This guy yelled and preached the whole time we were there
