Portland, Oregon

I traveled to Portland, Oregon two weeks ago for a work conference. I had never been to Oregon, and it was beautiful! There are pine trees galore, hills, mountains, waterfalls, and amazing views of the city and it's surrounding areas. We visited the Rose Garden, walked the streets of down town, got lost on public transit, and woke up to 53 degrees in July, and no humidity! It was fabulous-the only downside was that I was gone a few too many nights for my liking. I was dying to get home by Friday! I will be back to Portland for a family vacation some day-it was gorgeous!

Rose Garden

One of the amazing views from a restaurant called The Portland City Grill. It is on the 30th floor of a bank in down town, and the happy hour food and prices are awesome. Minimum one drink, but it's happy hour so how hard can that be? It was a fun place to eat and enjoy the view!

The roses in the Rose Garden were amazing!

I love this color!

I'd never seen plum colored roses before!

Just like Austin-no wonder I liked it so much:)

We went to the Voodoo Doughnut-it was on the Food network, and it has some super yummy doughnuts! I had the Portland Cream and The Maple Bacon Bar. They were delicious! I love their slogan too!
