Portland or BUST.

Last Wednesday was Danny's birthday. After we both got off work, we headed up to Portland for the night. It was so fun to get out of Salem for a day and and spend some quality time together. We hit up Portland City Grill for a few unique appetizers and delicious drinks - complete with an amazing nighttime view of Portland's city scape.
Thursday was a beautiful day spent hand-in-hand exploring the city. We lunched at the food cart block - an entire city block designated and lined with truck after truck serving up the most delicious ethnic dishes you can imagine. It's probably the only place in the whole city where within 10 feet of each other, you can order up Japanese Yakisoba noodles and a Greek gyro - which was amazing, btw :) We walked down along the waterfront as well, and ended up joining the walking tour of Portland - a tour that focuses on the history of the city, scandals and all...ending up underground with a visual of the "Shanghai Tunnels." Creepy in a sense, but totally interesting.
The day evaporated from under us, and reality returned sending us back to Salem. It was such a great time spent together; I can't wait for our next adventure! Happy Birthday, Love :)
