Bear’s birthday trip
As an early (and because at the time I bought the tickets I figured we should go over Memorial Day weekend) birthday present to Bear, I’m taking him to Portland, Oregon!

Don’t ask me why that was the place he chose when I sneakily asked him months ago. I’m guessing it has to do with all the breweries.
But the more I look at the stuff to do there, the more excited I get. This will be a fun (and hopefully relaxing) trip to get our minds off of the move. A good hoorah before Bear starts his new job.
Any suggestions to the town are most welcome.
You all have a wonderful weekend!
Beertown, USA…here we come!

Happy Birthday To Me! 
okay, on twitter i recommended voodoo doughnuts but i have another…i just couldn’t think of it earlier! ground kontrol is this awesome arcade bar that has SO many old games. the last time i was there the entire second floor was pinball machines. there were probably close to 40 of them. it was so much fun! i’ve also heard really great things about the mcmenamins pubs but i haven’t been to any yet.
thanks for the recommendations! we hit up most of those places – will post pictures soon.
I’ve never been there but have fun!!!!! I’m jealous. I hear it’s a great place to be!

I love going to the Pearl District. Lots of cute shops, especially home and design boutiques. There’s no sales tax in Oregon, so be sure to do some shopping! Happy b-day to your sweetie, too.
Thanks for the tips – did indeed do a bit of shopping.
