A last hooray this winter break...

We had a lovely start into the New Year, and extended the winter break for one additional day :)  What did we do?  Well, let me start by telling me how we started our trip.

We started the trip with a stop at Kettleman's Bagel Shop in Southeast Portland.  Here are the lovely ladies, enjoying their breakfast.  Salt bagel, toasted but plain for Alena - and Salt bagel, not toasted but with plain Tofutti cream cheese for Mia Rosie...and never, ever toasted for Mia Rosie :)

Oh yes, and never ever with Tofutti for Alena :)

We left Portland, with filled tummies looking forward to our mini-trip to...to...now where did we go again? Can you guess? No, not wanting to play my game - OK - we went to a mini-vacation to the Oregon Coast. All of us love the beach, even if it is stormy as it was yesterday.  It is still so much fun!

We stayed in Canon Beach in a lovely hotel directly on the beach and the only view is to the mighty Pacific Ocean. Generally I do not find hotels to be as ideal for us as we travel.  There was however a fantastic pool which all of us loved, plus the beach right at our doorstep.  Can't beat that even if there were not so many food options for the girlies.  -  I did bring along some bread but not much more - dinner was OK.  The girls - as neither of them like fish that much - had fries, and shared a burger wrapped in lettuce.  Breakfast this morning was a little bit more challenging.  Luckily the little coffee shop had a couple of plain bagels left.  The shop owner, called the bakery so I could make sure they were Galactosemia safe :)  So breakfast this morning looked a little bit different...

The girlies loved the bagels - toasted for Alena, and untested plain for Mia Rosie.  Quickly the batteries were recharged for some play time on the beach...


and after the beach...pool time followed by some time on the playground, before we headed back east to Portland.  On the way home, we introduced our guests from Germany to some great Sushi in Hillsboro at http://www.syun-izakaya.com/. So good - and Galactosemia safe food for our girlies :)

and tomorrow ?  Back to reality...the end of our fabulous winter break
