Our Portland Trip. Part one.

We had the BEST time in Portland. I didn't want to leave. My heart fluttered as our plane took off in Portland and I couldn't see the trees anymore. We got back last night and I had to come to work early this morning so I was slammed back into reality pretty fast. Thanks to our fantastic tour guides, Jeremy and Molly, we got to see some pretty amazing stuff.



The plane ride to Portland.



On the MAX to meet Jeremy.



This is the first place we stopped in Portland. We had our luggage with us while we waited in line...for thirty minutes. The wait was totally worth it.

This is my Voo Doo Doll doughnut. It was filled with raspberry jelly. Yummmm.


While waiting in line at Voo Doo Doughnuts, I took this picture.


Food carts like these are found on almost every street in downtown. I thought this one was cute.


Our second stop was Buffalo Exchange. I got a dress, a skirt, and a cute peter-pan collared top for SUPER cheap.


Our room number at the Ace Hotel.


Our bed.


The cute little sink.


The mural in our room.


Out our window.


We ate dinner here...oh MAN. It was so good.


An amazing view of downtown Portland at sunset.


After watching the sunset, Jeremy and Molly took us to this crazy block party thing called Last Thursday. I was randomly handed fresh lavender as I made my way through the crowded streets. It smelled so good.

This is a fire dancer that was dancing while a band played.


An Indian group singing on the street. It was beautiful.


This was all on our first day...I'll post part two sometime today.

26 more days until we're in Portland!!

Oh, hey there!! I'm at work while everyone is asleep on this wonderful Saturday morning. I planned on jogging this morning at 4am, but it was raining when my alarm went off. I had the most wonderful dream about Portland. Even though I've never been there, I have a feeling that I'm supposed to end up there one day. We leave to go to Portland on the 29th for our honeymoon...(2 months after we got married) Hahaha! We had to cancel the first time NOW I'm trying to reschedule the flight and OH MAN...what a headache! Don't EVER use Hotwire because they don't refund your tickets. So after all of this is behind us, I will pay about $1500 worth of airplane tickets. I better get some AWESOME pampering or SOMETHING on this flight for that amount of money. GEEZ! We're staying at the AMAZING Ace Hotel in Portland. I'm so excited. Words cannot describe how excited I am. People often ask me, "Portland? For a honeymoon? Why?"...are you KIDDING ME?! These pictures will tell you why.








This is Ace Hotel in Portland. We'll be staying there. YAY!
