When you've been lucky enough to spend several days in several of your favorite places with several of your favorite people, it's a little hard to leave. Especially since this is probably the only vacation I'll take where I couldn't have checked work email even if I wanted to. The Church shut off my email access the day I left, and Kirton McConkie hadn't set up my new account yet, so it was kind of a weirdly wonderful limbo period for me. Sigh.
But all good things must come to an end, apparently, and I really was looking forward to my nice linen closet at home with my piles and piles of fresh, clean towels. And being able to use the bathroom without someone yelling about who's taking so long in the bathroom. And, although it pains me to admit it, I was a little bit ready to see Rooney Tooney again. So, we packed up and said goodbye until next time. I can't wait until my Dad takes our family there next year. It's going to be SO fun!!!!
On the way to the Portland airport, I strongly encouraged everyone (and pretty much forced everyone in our van) to stop by the Portland Temple. The grounds are so beautiful. I know I've been saying this a lot, but it really is one of my favorites.
We were glad we stopped. And we still had time to go to Killer Burger before our flight, which I later realized was the real concern people had with going to the temple grounds. #priorities But someone had heard about this burger place in Portland where they have an amazing peanut butter burger. Which I didn't order, but Jason did, and I can tell you it tastes a lot like what you would imagine a hamburger with peanut butter would taste like. I'll stick with bacon.
And that, my patient friends, is the end of my Pacific Northwest vacation pics. Until next year, when my Dad repeats the entire vacation with the Thomas family.
