Every year, my best friend and I try to take at least two trips together. We call it our best friend trip, with our busy lives we hardly see each other and this way we get a two for one: an adventure and getting the low down on our current life situation. It was her turn to choose our destination. She ended up choosing Portland which was super random but I thought “what the heck!” I’ve never been. Portland itself was beautiful, surrounded by lush green trees and beautiful landscaping. Our time there was spent drinking beer, eating at food trucks and exploring everything that Portland had to offer.
We explored
the Powell bookstore, walked through Washington Park, bought donuts at the
famous Voodoo donuts and went shopping because Oregon does not have sales
taxes!!. SO basically, we spent most of our time shipping, reading and eating a ton of food.
On our second night in Portland we went on a "Haunted Beer Tour" with Beer Quest Walking Tours. Our tour guide took us around Portland and told us historical stories of different buildings and what spirits still roam the land. Creepy, I know right! We tried over 7 different beers from 2 local bars, meet some really cool people traveling through Portland, and explored more of the city.

The
Original Dinerant Restaurant: 300 SW 6th Ave, Portland, OR 97204
Walking around Washington park was amazing! Our first stop was the Japanese Tea garden. It was super sprinkling all day, its a good thing I packed my windbreaker and Lisa brought her umbrella. The park was so beautiful. We stopped by the Rose garden as well. Everywhere we went there was lush green grass and trees, beautiful flowers and the smell of rain on the asphalt.
The best part of our trip was eating at different cafe's and i tried Dutch Bros for the first time. OMG! it was delicious. sadly, we do not have any here in southern California. Now every new city I explore, the first thing I do is see if there is a Dutch Bros.
It was a very relaxing trip for the both of us and we got to experience a new city together.
Now, we get
to plan our next trip. WOOHOO! Where shall we go next?
-STAY ADVENTUROUS
