We stayed at Ryan's aunts town house that was close to Brandy's house. His aunt summer's there so the house was perfect for us to spend a couple days. We stayed there our first night and ended up staying awake until like 2:00 in the morning talking.
We slept in as long as we could on Friday and then we went back to Brandy's house for breakfast and then planned out our day. We started by going to the movies and seeing "Saving Mr. Banks." It was a really good movie and I am glad that we went. 
After the movie we went back to the town house and did the heart craft that I brought. We each chose our paper and paints and then had fun chatting and doing our hearts. It was so sunny while we were there, so it was so nice to open the shades and enjoy the sun while we did our craft.
After our craft we went to dinner at The Olive Garden. It was really busy and we had to wait a long time, but we didn't mind too much since we didn't have any kids with us.After that we headed back to the town house. We stopped at a store on our way home and bought some finger nail polish and some crazy makeup. Then we went wild when we got back. We did our finger nails and toe nails and then did our makeup like we would never ever do in public. We are such silly ladies. We stayed up pretty late that night too, but we had fun.
Saturday we planned to go to the Chocolate Fest. We stopped at WinCo to pick up some healthy breakfast of fruit and such. Then we drove to downtown Portland for the Chocolate Fest.
We had a hard time finding a parking spot so we ended up parking further away from the convention center and then taking the train there. Chocolate Fest was a lot of fun. There were lots of people there and vendors. We had a lot of samples of good chocolate and bad. Some were so bad...after tasting one I literally said "Oh yucky" right in front of the vender.
We got about half way through the venders when we were getting a tummy ache and decided to eat some lunch. We all had salad. It was sad but we all got sick of chocolate before we were done seeing everyone. But we all bought lots of chocolate and had a good time.
Then we drove back to the house and ate our left overs from the night before. Then we hung out and watched some shows. Ryan brought us over some ice cream with all the fixings - so good. We really needed more sugar.
Sunday morning we got up and got dressed for church. We packed our bags and got all our stuff and went to Brandy's. We ended up just going to sacrament because Mandy wasn't feeling well. Then we ate some lunch before Mandy had to go to make her flight. While Ryan, Brandy, and Mandy went to the airport Nate, Tony's brother, came and got me and took me to their house.
It was so nice hanging out with his family and seeing their new baby, Cora. I really can't say enough how much I liked hanging out with them. They are such a neat family and I hope that they can move back to Utah some day soon. I ate dinner with them and it was so yummy! After dinner and chatting Nate took me back to Brandy's where I slept that night.
I was so tired I went to bed early and was able to sleep in a little bit. Monday I just hung out at Brandy's house. I took a nap and we chatted lots. Then she took me to the airport. I flew home and my dad came and got me and dropped me off at home. It was a nice break and I am glad that I was able to spend time with my family.
