We went to the

Avery, Gaynea, Aunt Hill and I met downtown to see the Portland Art Museum. After living here for more than ten years, I don't think I have ever even been here, I'm a little ashamed to say. It was so beautiful!

Avery and my mom were really in their element.


Down the Park blocks I took a picture of Avery next to my alma-mater.



The fountain that we threw our pennies in. I always throw a penny in a fountain whenever I have a chance. I need all the wishes I can take.







The sculpture at the entrance of the museum:

Avery thought this one looked like a watermelon and grapes. I will put out my apologies to the museum for the pictures, I think it's not kosher.....


Aunt Hill looking hip in her "True Religions"






This one looked like a giant piece of fabric:









We ate crepes with strawberries and whip cream and frozen yogurt from this place after the exhibit.

They had cool lighting:


Avery loved being downtown. Although she did not get the concept of paying to park somewhere.


On the way home we drove by Brian and my 1st apartment. It's the one on the bottom, #4. Avery could not believe that we lived here. She asked, "why didn't you just buy a house?"

At the end of the art exhibit I asked Avery what her favorite part was and she said, " I don't know, it was all so amazing!"

Wish we could have stayed longer, looks like you guys had just as much fun after the museum.
