Tourists: Carly and Kelly
No trip to Portland is complete for me without a visit to Powell's Books. If you are not familiar with Powell's --"Powell's City of Books is an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon, that fills a whole city block with more than a million new, used, and out of print books." Need I say more...
I don't think Carly was really aware of that she surrounded by millions of books... we never left the Children's section! She picked out a book for each of her sisters and brother; and two for herself. As for me, well I could have stayed all day... but we were shopping with 3 children who were looking forward to the fountain at Jamison Square.
Jamison Square is the cool hotspot in the Pearl District. The temperature was well on it's way to a high of 105 degrees and the fountain was the place to be.
(Last 3 photos taken by Sarah)I am beginning to think these two fit together like "two peas in a pod", "peanut butter and jelly", "cheese and crackers"...
Before we headed home for lunch we took a quick trip across the street for "ice cream appetizers" from Cool Moon!
Good way to beat the heat, for sure. The kids sure had fun.
