We saw and hiked waterfalls, rode a zipline and an alpine slide, and ate to our hearts content. I feel as if there are still so many pieces of Portland that we didn't get a chance to see and I'm kinda already wanting to go back (but fly next time... 600+ miles in a car is hard). And hello, no sales tax! Yes outlets, we became best friends over our short stay.
Until next time Oregon.. stay green.

If you go...
Eat/drink:
Por Que No? - Awesome Mexican food.
The Ram's Head at McMennamins - Ruby is my new favorite beer.
Tin Shed - Visited by Guy Fieri, huge plates that don't disappoint.
Radio Room - Outdoor fire pit and a great place to hang out when the sun goes down with good burgers and fries.
Belmont Station - Over 1200 beers. DH was in heaven.
Pine State Biscuits - Heaven on a biscuit. Fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and gravy in between a biscuit. Don't check my cholesterol.
The Bungalo Bar - A bit of a college vibe, but its a bar in what was a house. The backyard has hammocks and swing chairs!
Ninkasi Brewery (Eugene) - A Eugene based brewery with outdoor seating and is near the U of O stadium.
Jory at the Allison Inn & Spa (Newburg) - An amazing restaurant with a great view of vineyards. The beef tips were amazing.
Voodoo Doughnuts - No intro necessary. We definitely got a donut in our box with bubble gum in it. We went around 8:45AM and there was no line!
Activities:
Multnomah Falls * - A double fall water fall where you can hike to the top. Reward yourself with ice cream at the bottom - it's a daunting mile up!
Rose Garden * - See why Portland is called the City of Roses. The test rose garden is amazing and offers a great view of the city as well.
Mt. Hood SkiBowl - An alpine slide. Down a mountain. And in winter, they have cosmic tubing (!!!)
* denotes free things to do. Score!
What a fun trip! I've always wanted to visit the voodoo donut shop... I think one of the owners is ordained to preform wedding ceremonies there!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun - Katie, I think you would love Portland. :) And who would've known on the ordained minister part!
DeleteOh I am so incredibly jealous! We haven't been to Oregon yet but we've researched the heck out of it and it seems like just the place for us. My husband and I are soon getting an RV and traveling in it full-time, and the first place we are going is up the west coast. There is just too much beauty to be passed up on.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - a RV full time? that sounds amazing - and my dad's dream come true! I can't wait to hear about your adventures!
DeleteAhhh! I want to go to Voodoo Doughnuts so badly (and Oregon in general)! That waterfall is all over my pinterest!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to go back and see the Oregon Coast - I hear it is just stunning!
DeleteI've been to Oregon, but never Portland. I remember your box of donuts from Instagram. lol Thanks for sharing your trip. I always feel like I'm on vacay for a minute when I see blogger trip recaps.
ReplyDeleteNo problem ;) I'm always happy to share!
