Midwest Excursion Part 2: Woodward Dreamcruise

The Dreamcruise was everything I imagined. Crazy beautiful old cars parked or driving up and down Woodward Ave in Detroit, the Motor City. We took the '56 down to Ferndale and cruised from about 9 Mile all the way to Pontiac, a stretch of about 15 miles. My neck was killin me looking this way and that checking out all the amazing rides. It was a full day of cruisin the strip and it was totally worth it

On our way!

Christine, of course, matched the car perfectly...

The Midwest Excursion:Part 1

In a nutshell: On August 17th, C (and the baby) and I got on a plane and flew to Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise and then a shower at her parents place. Then we hit the road and went to a Cleveland for a few days before heading back to Portland. It was a fantastic trip visiting with family and catching up with old friends. The weather was great and we got to cruise in the '56 Chevy Bel Air, which was quite the treat!

Cruising with the folks around town!

First Thursday in the Pearl

Mama C (at 25 weeks) was out selling her glass at August's First Thursday night in the Pearl. It's another Portland perk that happens every month where some streets are closed off for artists to sell their work. She had a lot of interested folks and sold 11 pieces, which was fantastic! Most of the pieces were from 05' & 06', but she had a few new 07' vases too!

She was workin all the way to the end!

19 Week Peanut

Peek-a-boo Junior, we see you!

Hang 10 Hawaii

B&C taking in some rays in Hawaii, with sunscreen of course! B was on his way back from Asia and had some serious jetlag. C on the other hand, was ready to hit the beach with a 16 week prego belly. We'll spare you those shots!

B wishing he had his swim trunks.

Oregon Coast

B just can't resist the 20 week basketball. C's p's were in town for a visit and we spent the day at the coast. Here we are at our (so far favorite) cove in the Oswald West State Park. It's a sweet little cove that attracts surfers just up coast from Manzanita. Verrry nice......

Da P's!
