Our Adventure to Powell's

Powell's City of Books is my absolute favorite place in Portland. I'd been having a hard time tracking down a copy of our next book club book -- Girl of the Limberlost -- so I got to make a trip downtown to visit Powell's. Plus, I've been really excited to take Simon with me. So what better day than Thursday (or "Mommy Day" as I like to call it) to do it? And of course I had to document this monumental occasion!

Simon was so anxious to leave...

And he was the hit of the trainride down! He just kept making this low "uuuuhhhh" noise. I think he liked how the vibrations make his voice sound. He does it in the car too.

Once we arrived we made our way to the children's section.

Might I say that Powell's is kind of a pain to navigate with a stroller. There's just so many stairs that the only way you can get around is to take the elevator and the elevators are so slow there! But it's really a moot point because, let's face it, YOU'RE AT POWELL'S!!!!
By the time we left, Simon was pretty tired out...

Overall it was a successful trip! I stayed within my budget and got a a few books for Simon, a few books for me, and found a new author for Tony. Here's the haul:

And I finally got one of these too...
