Brandon's 28th Birthday!

We celebrated B's birthday this past Saturday and I successfully pulled off a surprise! That doesn't happen all the time. :)
It was the most GORGEOUS day! We woke up, walked on over to the donut shop and leisurely ate our donuts in our pajamas. After getting ready we went on a little walk and then tried out a little Italian sandwich shop. Then we made our way downtown to walk around Powell's and browse the many sections of books(something we never get to do). Brandon thought all of this was the surprise and had no idea where we were about to head to.
When we got home I told him he needed to pack a bag for the night. He was pretty excited, I think :) This is where the pictures start.

We had so many beautiful glimpses of Mt. Hood and all it's glory--hard to imagine that it's about half the altitude of Pikes Peak!


So, we drove across the WA border and went to the small little town of Camas. After checking into our hotel we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and browse the shops downtown. Here's Brandon and downtown Camas :)


For dinner we walked to a cute little pizza bistro called Twilight Pizza (no connection to the books unfortunately:))

and of course after dinner, Clara really wanted some ice cream so we walked on over to the local Dairy Queen. Brandon lucked out and got the gal to upgrade his blizzard for his birthday :)

I love this boy :)
