Day 4 & 5: Sunday and Monday, March 20 & 21
So here we are in Portland! It's a pretty cool city with lots of personality. Sunday Jeremy and I got to chill and catch up on our trashy reality TV (but half a day was more than enough!). Today we met up with Brooke and went into town to check out some of the food carts. The one food cart I wanted to visit is called the Grilled Cheese Grill and is housed in a double decker bus. As we were passing by I noticed it was closed and my heart fell to the floor! But luckily there was a food cart 'pod' about a block away that we went to visit. It's like a little city of deliciousness! Not a lot of the food carts are open on Mondays, but there was a korean bbq place and hot dog place. I decided to get the best of both worlds and got a chili cheese dawg and a sample plate of bbq. Both were really good and we got to eat under a little tent with heaters. I wish I had more pictures, but it was raining a little too much. Brooke took us through a quick tour of old town, and I saw that Voodoo Doughnuts was there, but the line was around the block! Needless to say, the bacon maple doughnut will have to wait another day.
Just chilling for the past few days and it feels so good! I laugh when I think about work and I feel like 'peace out', not even worth my time. Right now we're all just sitting down with a glass of wine (or a few) and cooking brussel sprouts with bacon, enjoying good conversation. Nothing feels better than wine, food and catching up with good old friends!
Tomorrow, Bagby hot springs in Hood Mountain and dinner with Brooke's parents. Max also has a buddy to play with, Stanley. He's got 80 lbs on him, but they are getting along really well. Portland has treated us well so far!
I love how I feel like I'm tagging along with you guys. Have you watched Portlandia? All they do is make fun of Portland. It's hilarious, check it out. I love the donut places too. Tell Max I say Hi
