Train

While driving around town we have seen the Max train and Kate has been asking to ride the train for weeks. So last week Kate and I went and rode the train into downtown Portland. It wasn't raining, but it was freezing. Of course, there was some kind of power outage so the trains weren't running as scheduled, but after standing out in the cold we finally got in. While in downtown we looked at the giant tree in Pioneer Square, checked out the Macy's window displays, visited Santa (again), and got some frozen yogurt with gummy bears for lunch. Okay, that was Kate's lunch but not mine. I had planned on sharing, but her pick didn't really interest me. I was worried that we might run into Occupy Portland but we made it out okay and were not involved in any protests.

Writing and mailing a letter to Santa. Kate wrote it herself and would not accept any help. Hopefully Santa can read it since she doesn't know how to write.

Nothing like frozen yogurt with gummy bears on a freezing day.
