Portland Trip

Here are a few pictures of my trip to Portland! If you've never been there before, I highly recommend going! It is so beautiful and so GREEN! Sorry for the short post today. Just a few trip highlights photos.

I finally made it to Voo Doo Doughnuts on my last night there. The one on the right was mine... voo doo doll filled with "blood" aka delicious raspberry filling.

One Week Later

Wow... where did this past week go?! I have been SO unbelievably busy at the office this week- it's insane.

Portland was a whirlwind of a trip. 75% of my time was spent trapped in the hotel conference area, listening to speaker after speaker after speaker...

A co-worker and I did manage to escape and make it to Multnomah Falls (pictures coming soon!) and on the last day our boss took us to the Japanese Gardens (pictures also coming soon!) and out to one of the best dinners ever at a local restaurant called Veritable Quandry. My boss has pretty expensive taste, which means we always get to eat the BEST food!

The highlight of my trip, though, was FINALLY making it to Voo Doo Doughnuts. After seeing this episode of No Reservations, I was on a mission to one day eat a Voo Doo Doughnut. (I know, dream big.) It was quite an adventure getting there and we had to wait 30 minutes in line! But it was totally worth it!

Time to go for a run now! Gotta work off that doughnut. :)

Greetings from Portland

Hello from Portland, Oregon! I flew out here from Indy this morning for a work conference. Talk about a loooooong morning of flying!

I managed to take a couple days worth out outfit photos before I left so I could still do some updating while I'm away.

Olive was being so dang cute this day that I just had to include these! She LOVES sitting in the sun, but she overheats easily... which results in excessive snorting and panting. And she just looks so silly with her tongue hanging out of her mouth like that. This is her "it's HOT" face... a face only a mother could love. :)

We are staying in possibly the swankiest (is that a real word? I don't think so... oh well) hotel I have ever stepped foot inside. It's called The Nines. The rooms are all decked out in silver, taupe, mirrors, crystals, and tiffany's blue! I will post some pictures after the trip. I know I'm really geeking out here, but seriously! It's beautiful!

I also have already managed to do a little shopping (imagine that!) It's just my luck that the hotel is directly across the street from a huge mall. Luckily today is really the only day I have downtime- thank goodness! :) I will leave you with Olive's "I'm tired!" face. Hope everyone's having a great Earth Day!
