Our "Big Adventure"

Amelia and I decided to make the most of her last day on vacation by going on what she calls a "big adventure". This entails taking the light rail downtown and exploring around. So, despite the rain, drizzle, and darkness, we set out with Zebra, Little Bear, Raggedy Ann, and some spare undies of course. Unlike me, I brought my camera with working batteries and snagged some shots.

Waiting for the train


Riding sideways on the train (can turn it upright in iPhoto, but not here)


Crossing the Steel Bridge over the Willamette River



We arrive at the train station



An obligatory shot in front of the sea lion fountain


Amelia smiling in the Central Library



A nice view out the window in the kids' section of the library


Amelia singing a Christmas carol to me



Reflection of ourselves and the train passing by



Finally, at the right angle. Just before we headed home we got this shot of her in this nice little Mimi-sized nook.


Note: Any hints on getting the pictures to stand upright would be helpful. Thanks.
