girls weekend in Portland

Mom and Grandma came to Portland for a girls weekend.  We got lucky and had decent weather the whole weekend!  Grandma grew up in Portland and that's where her whole family was.  We spent most of the weekend driving around her old neighborhoods, looking at her old houses and she told us where all of her family used to live.  She just has one cousin left in Portland now, but I could tell it was a lot of fun for her to remember the good ol' days in the city.  I took some pictures while we were out and about and just downloaded a new editing program, so this is the first time working with it.  I like it, it's called Photoscape.  Can give a nice vintage feel to the photos which is my favorite look.  I am certainly looking forward to taking some photography classes this summer and see where that takes me.
