The theme for the Portland leg of our trip was “trains,” as you can see by the following photos.

From downtown Portland, we rode the MAX light rail out to the Oregon Zoo:

Once at the zoo, we rode the “zoo train” through the woods to Washington Park and back:

The following day, we drove out to Hood River for Day Out With Thomas where we got to ride on a train “pulled” (shh! no, not really!) by a life-sized Thomas the Tank Engine:

At the Thomas event, Evan and I also took a ride on a small, steam-powered “riding railroad“:

We had planned to ride the Seattle Monorail, but as previously mentioned, our Seattle plans were — ahem! — “derailed.”

Trains, trains, trains!
