Dayton, Oregon

     This "tiny" town called Dayton, surrounds the town park. We had a free afternoon and decided to go and visit this sweet little town.

     There is an ice cream shop we had heard about but it was closed so we hung out in the city park and enjoyed the nostalgic feeling in the park. Its almost like going back in time...merry-go-rounds, gazebo's and climbing trees...ahh...

     The park is built around Oregon History with an original fort in the corner of the park.

Pizza on 23rd Street

     By far one of my favorite places to shop and eat in Portland, is on 23rd street. I love strolling down the street and looking at the old, and amazing historic buildings, shops and restaurant's.

We came upon this sweet little pizza shop and it was wonderful. Pizza made just the way I like it.

     Not much seating in the shop but I would definitely visit again. check out their menu here Escape From New York Pizza

Memories on Blogger

     As you can see I am playing catch - up on my blog. Why post all the 6 months old photo's you may ask? Well, my reason for this blog is to be a memory maker for myself and my family. Including favorite recipes my family may want to look up, or just stroll through memory lane. It seems much easier than scrap-booking.....

     So, I call this my electronic memory book for my family. Thus is the reason to not miss important events even if I am behind in posting. Some day when I am old and gray (almost there now), I will enjoy looking back and reminiscing on all these special times!!!
