Elizabeth spent some time reading a story called "Chinatown". I thought it would be great to visit the Chinese Gardens in Portland to try and tie it into what she learned. It's such a pretty place and amazingly so quiet though it's surrounded by busy streets. They have a picture treasure hunt for the kids. Elizabeth had to find the things in the pictures, she had a lot of fun doing that. Got her looking around at things. We were going to find a place to eat around there but the one Chinese restraunt we had eaten at years ago was closed and a police officer had told us earlier he didn't think the others were any good. We thought that was funny. Instead we went to China Moon in Beaverton :)

There is very good Chinese food to be found in Chinatown. My Saturday Chinese group has started going out and sampling a few, so I may have more to report, but for starters, I'd recommend Mandarin House in the middle of where Saturday Market is, and The Golden Horse (I think that's its name) in Chinatown. I also liked Hunan over on Broadway on the other side of Burnside from Chinatown.
Well, I wish I had talked to you before hand :) Thank you! I will remember that next time we go to the Gardens as Elizabeth loved it and wants to go back.
Christy this is the fun part of HSing on your own. You get to find all the fun things to tie into the lessons! I hope this year is wonderful for you guys.
heard those were beautiful - that is Beth's favorite spot.
