Portland, Oregon - Day 1

Before we left for our first day in Portland, we were sure to grab some coffee and scones from Macrina Bakery.  Once in Portland, we walked around the Saturday Market, admiring all the flowers and produce.  After eating huge tofu burritos from the KOi Fusion food truck we visited the Rothko exhibit at the Portland Art Museum.  While at the museum, stumbled upon a John Frame sculpture exhibit.  His detailed and delicate work will blow your mind.  Following that, we went for a hike on the Wildwood Trail, just west of downtown Portland.  After a long day out in the city, we checked into our room at the Ace Hotel, where we would be staying for the duration of our visit.  We decided to stay close by for dinner.  We ate some delicious food and drank some wonderful cocktails at the classy restaurant located on the first floor of the hotel: Clyde Common.

What are you doing this weekend?

We're going to Portland, OR.  We're finally going to stay at the Ace Hotel and relax for a couple days.  We're planning on visiting museums, dining on fine cuisine, exploring boutiques, and wondering the trails and streets of Portland.



Have a wonderful weekend!

To Bremerton and Back

Last weekend, we took a beautiful ferry ride from Seattle to Bremerton.  It was the perfect spring day for a walk and a ferry ride.

Garden Beginnings

Right now, we've got some leaf lettuce, arugula, and two varieties of tomatoes started inside the house.  Outside, we have some onions, sugar snap peas, potatoes, carrots, garlic, and cilantro.  And to think that we're just getting started!  We can't wait to plant more and to watch our garden grow!
