Out and About with Toddlers in Portland

The littles are babies no more. I compiled this list of all of the places we go to get out of the house and explore. Obviously, this is targeted to things close to where we live (SW Portland, Tigard, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, etc). Please comment to let me know if I'm missing anything awesome!
