Over Labor Day, we took a vacation with Quentin’s family to Portland, Oregon.
It was absolutely the perfect weekend. The weather was ideal- it only rained one time! We ate and drank our way through the city and had fun feeling like locals. We stayed in an area of town called the Pearl District and it was ideal. Great location to anything throughout the city.
We did a food tour the first day we got there. The restaurants in Portland do an amazing job of sourcing local ingredients for their menus. Some of our favorite places were Q BAR and Southpark Seafood.
We also couldn’t resist checking out a few local favorites. We had so much fun exploring the unique flavors at Voodoo Doughnut.
On our search for some amazing Thai food, we found a little hole-in-the-wall called Pok Pok.
We also had fun visiting a few local vineyards in Dundee, OR.
And a few breweries too đŸ˜‰
I highly recommend visiting Washington Park. There are miles of walking trails as well as a Japanese Garden, the International Rose Test Garden, and the Portland Zoo.
Quentin and I we’re lucky enough to be able to get our engagement pictures taken on the Oregon coast. We spent the morning exploring Cannon Beach, Ecola State Park and Hug Point.
On our last day we ventured over to Multnomah Falls. The falls are located in the Columbia River Gorge which was badly damaged by wildfires in the late summer of 2017. It has been predicted that it will take over 20 years for the gorge to grow back to where it was before the fire. Luckily, Multnomah Falls wasn’t too terrible effected.
