American Pride

The girls had been anxiously anticipating Nana and Amy's arrival ever since their voyage on the American Pride down the Columbia River was to end in Portland.  So, the day they arrived, I got the girls up at the crack of dawn, threw them in the van, grabbed some donuts and coffee on the way, and drove up to Jantzen Beach where the American pride was to dock at 8 am.   Nana & Amy stayed with us through the weekend.  On Saturday we walked around our neighborhood and had Burgerville for dinner.   On Sunday we took them to church and to the original Sandwich Express for lunch, then drove home through Carlton.  Amy was so nurturing and sweet to the girls, reading them many books and never saying no to a cuddle.  Nana was such a trooper, never saying no to a walk.   We had an amazing weekend and can't wait to see them again this summer at Nana's 90th birthday party!
