Bad weeks, they happen.

And I had a doozy last month, and my lovely husband knows just what to perk me up - a surprise trip to a new city for my 35th birthday with my fave fam. Andrew and I have wanted to check out the Portland food / coffee / beer scene for years and he pulled the trigger on a quick weekend trip to pep me up after a challenging week with work.

We ate, we walked, we drank and we showed Miss Annabelle a taste of the PNW - it was a perfect way to begin my 36th year on earth.
