Portland Day 3

Our FIRST MAIL!!!
View heading up the Sky Tram.
View on a patio/deck outside of the OHSU hospital.
Our living room area.
Day #2 Second trip to Goodwill and Home Depot. Home Depot had a free building event for kids; Therin made a sailboat and Kya a birdhouse. Went to the Visitors Center and got library cards. Ate at the food trucks downtown. Hiking in Marquam Trails. Day #3 Checked out parks closest to our condo. Went to the closest grocery store which is a food coop that has phenonmenal salmon (but the prices are pretty steep). AMAZING farmer's market within 2 blocks so we loaded up on berries, sheep cheese and sobrosetta-so easy to make lunch!!! After a rest/nap time; headed out to ride the Sky Tram. They were partnering with the Children's museum today so they were giving tours of the Tram operating facility, had a few children's activities and met my sister, Julie's friend, Ryan, who is in charge of all of the PR for the Sky Tram. Got a 2 for 1 coupon to the Children's museum-score!! Walked around downtown along the waterfront (where most of the festivals here are held) and headed back home up the tram.
