The video footage you'll only find here!!!

A couple remaining tidbits...

We didn't really like Pike's Place all that much, even though it was the hot spot everyone told us to go to. We didn't see any of the fish being thrown around and it was really dirty and not very stroller-friendly.

We really liked Portland. We went through there as an afterthought on the way back and were glad we did. It was not nearly as big as Seattle, which made it easier to navigate. It was cute and we saw a lot of kids and families- whereas in Seattle, we felt a little like weirdos with the only baby in sight.

I (Julia) stood up to a pickpocket while getting on a bus. Some dude finagled his way in between Matt and me while we were trying to get on and Matt had the diaper bag on his back hip. The changing pad was kinda sticking out and probably looked like a wallet cause the guy tried to be all sly and take it out. Just out of instinct, I grabbed his arm and said "HEY!" He was like, "What?" and I told Matt he was trying to take something out of his bag and he made a big show about trying to deny it and then didn't even get on the bus. We're pretty sure he just rides around all day trying to get what he can.

And the most important of all, I discovered a new favorite ice-cream flavor in Portland. Lemon Lavender. If anyone knows where I can get it in Utah, I'd be forever in your debt.

Quite a production you two. I especially enjoyed being rewarded with the secret audio clip about trying to find things and Julia telling Matt to stop. Covey groovin' to Superstition wasn't too bad either. Portland is cool the down side is having to eat flax seed and wheat germ with a side of granola everywhere you go.
