The Bright Side: One Year Anniversary

After a wonderful Gulliver Family Reunion in Pasco, WA Spence and I decided to head over to Portland for an Anniversary celebration weekend.

We stayed at a nice Red Lion Hotel on the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA. (We went to Vancouver, Canada on our honeymoon, so it was fun to be in a different Vancouver for our one year Anniversary). The weekend was spent at Cannon Beach, the Portland Rose Gardens, waterfalls, downtown Portland, great food, and tons of fun.

We can't believe it has been a year since we were married! It has been a great year. We are so blessed to have each other. We love each other so much and always have a great time with one another. We're so excited to celebrate many many more years of marriage!

On the way to Portland, we wanted to stop by Multnoma Falls, but we found this waterfall first. It is known as Horsetail Falls.

Hydrangeas have always been my favorite flower. When we were dating, there was five months we were apart from each other. One day I got hydrangeas in the mail from Spence. I loved it! We also had hydrangeas at our wedding of course. So I had to take a picture of some I found at Cannon beach.

This mango smoothie tasted like you were actually eating a fresh ripe mango. YUM!

This is our delicious Thai food dinner at Pok Pok. One of our favorite shows is Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. Spence surprised me and found this restaurant that was on the show. It's extra special because Thai food is one of my favorites and we had it on our honeymoon, which was Spence's first time having Thai food. So fun!

Portland Saturday Market.
This was a very fun farmer's market to walk around. We were starving and found some yummy Lebanese food to eat. I had a garlic chicken pocket sandwich and Spence had steak. It was great!
