Ice cream and summer fun in Portland...

Finally its warm and sunny...Yesterday we spent a fun afternoon with our friends. We had lunch at Typhoon! which is a Thai restaurant (the girls ate chicken satay) with numerous locations throughout the Metro PDX area. http://www.typhoonrestaurants.com/home.htm After lunch we promised the four girls ice cream. We decided to go to Mio Gelato in the Pearl. Mio Gelato has a couple locations in Portland and they make sorbetto as well as "regular" ice cream. http://mio-gelato.com/ Alena chose "Pineapple", while Mia Rosie had a scoop of delicious "Strawberry" sorbetto. Quite delicious stuff. Their friends ate Straciatella ice cream and it was no issue at all. Everybody was happy. As for the place itself, I have to say that their sorbettos are really good the staff however is not so much my cup of tea...I think the next time we will go to Ben & Jerry's in the Pearl. Isn't it great to have all these options ?! :)))

After all of the food we went to Jamison Square Fountain in the Pearl. It is so much fun for the kids. They wade in the water, water comes down the rocks...lots of fun for them. Luckily it was not so crowded yesterday. What a great time...here is a link to Jamison Square. http://www.oregon.com/trips/jamison_square.cfm
