Regardless, it is always great to get away from Vancouver and experience a few of Portland's fine treasures and gems. And if you did not know, Jamison Square Park was named as one of the hot spots on Bugaboo's website for day trips. For Portland to be highlighted among some of the other elite cities across the world is phenomenal, and to be able to share in some of these experiences with my daughter is absolutely wonderful as well. Now, we'll have to work on getting Vancouver added to this list.
In regards to the park, the focal point of the park is a fountain which simulates a shallow tidal pool. The tide comes in and goes back out, which is completely fun for little ones. Plus, if you have bigger kids they can play in the "deep" (ankle/knee height) and little ones can splash in the puddles. Plus, how can you resist the fabulous shopping, boutiques and restaurants surrounding in the Pearl District. You simply cannot.
And, after seeing such a fun park and enjoying our afternoon ... you probably could only imagine that little A was more interested in the leaves on the ground than the water from the fountain. We could have been in our own backyard for all she knew. Toddlers. That will have to be saved for another post at another time. At least we had fun. Or shall I say, at least I had fun.
