Portland.Oregon.

Gotta love the P.O.!!!

After a fun filled VERY busy fun filled 5 days with Rye's folks we dropped them off at the airport and promptly made our way down to Portland. We LOVE Oregon. It was one of our favorite getaways when we were in Seattle, and since one of the things we miss the most being in Hawaii is just DRIVING and being able to go somewhere other than around the perimeter of the island we decided to make a quick Portland getaway.

Here's what we loved:

no garbage at this burger joint, just compost and cans

our favorite lodging - Northrup Inn (note huge jar of candy on every table)

totally green recycled material Keen store


incredibly bike friendly town

covered bike parking
Pet friendly too! cute poop station




covered leash area so your dog doesn't have to wait in the rain while you market




homemade vanilla soda and chocolate malt (did i mention we bent our diet a little?)
you would never find a terrarium store in hawaii


HUGE anthropologie!!! (Stacy's heaven)

Bike shops galor (ryan's heaven)

THREE different plastic recycling bins

tax free shopping!



super original eateries



orgasmic grilled cheese sandwich (did i mention we bent our diet a little?)
