Portland

I've done a few posts so scroll down.
I worked in one more trip before school started. I flew to Portland to see Jamie and Jeff. It was a blast. It was a quick trip, but well worth it.
First stop, was breakfast. We ate a Pine State. Great food. Jamie and Jeff know all the great eating establishments. It was good. And as Jamie says, "It's so Portland"

We went to the Portland Saturday market. This is a huge market with jewelery, food, clothes and tons of other things. "It's so Portland"
Then we went to the Pittock Mansion. This was pretty cool. I liked the view of Portland.Jeff always excited to have his picture taken. Love it!!
Ahh, there's a good pic.
The grounds were so pretty. Then... onto sushi. This place was so good.

And Jeff's shoes that everyone comments on. I think the one day he wore them he had 4 people say how cool they are. It made me laugh.
Sunday we went to church and then Jeff hooked me up with music.
The next day Jamie and I went shopping at the outlets. I bought a few North Face jackets and then some shirts from the Esprit outlet. My favorite quote was when the Esprit girl asked me if I wanted a membership card for Esprit and I was like well, I'm just visiting so no. Sales girl says shockingly and--with a confused look on her face: and you don't have an Esprit where you live?
Me: hum no. (thinking to myself and yes life goes on)
Me and Jamie on the way out: hum no and we haven't had one since like the 8th grade. (see birthday post and do the subtraction on your own to see how long it's been :) )
Thought it was pretty funny. I was actually shocked that I found some shirts there. Have to love the no sales tax in Portland.
I had a good time. Jamie and Jeff always make it fun. Can't wait to come back. Jamie and Jeff just moved downtown, so I'm going to have to come out again

From reading your other posts I apparently need to try breakfast at Kneaders...I've been missing out!

Portland looks so fun. Jason is taking Graham there for his birthday next month. I think they are going to look at lighthouses and whales. Either way I'm jealous of all of you!!!

And a late happy birthday to you :)
