I wasn’t really sure where to start this post. To be honest, we only really spent one day exploring Portland even though we were there for 5 nights – Portland was our “base” for the majority of those in between trips. In the end, it kinda worked out perfectly – there isn’t an overwhelming about of sights to see in the city, but there IS entirely too much good food. That’s where my head goes every time I think of Portland, so that’s what I’ll tell ya about :)
I have a little deal with myself that, on vacation, I can be a bit wasteful when it comes to food as long as I’m trying new things – meaning if I don’t want to fill up on an entire sandwich so I can try something else later, that’s okay! I mean, chances are, I’ll probably never go back to Portland, so why not soak up as much as possible while I’m there!? Well, eat we did! Pecan maple bacon, blackberry cake batter ice cream, chicken biscuits with apple butter on – you name it, I probably ate it. And everything was SO GOOD. I didn’t not like a single thing we tried, which almost makes me want to go back again just to eat (jk – sort of…)! In true tourist fashion, we finished off the trip with some Voodoo Doughnuts which we both agreed were amazing!
I’m actually kind of bummed that this vacation mini-series is coming to an end — It’s been a fun way to relive the trip (at least for me!). I’m sure I’ll end up scrapbooking this in a few months (I am always, always behind on that) and will get to relive it again, but it won’t be the same as writing down the funny, or not so funny, stories! Anyway, y’all know I can’t stop moving, so hopefully I’ll be writing about another new place soon!!
