Weekend in Portland

We returned late Sunday night from spending the weekend in Portland. We were actually there to celebrate the life of my Great-Grandmother (Emma's Great-Great-Grandmother!) as she went home to Jesus on the 10th. The weekend turned into a wonderful family reunion with over 30 family members from all over spending time together.

We made a mini-vacation out of the weekend by staying in a hotel (for cheap - thanks to Hotwire!), shopping (tax-free), going out to dinner, and visiting the zoo on Father's Day.

Here are some pictures of the highlights.
