Greetings from the Rose City!
Or as my Portland ex-pat friends endearingly call it--PDX. I like to call it the Land of Ports.
I don't know why the railing and SW Hawthorne Bridge look curved because they're not. I didn't edit the picture.
Pink Coat, Weatherproof (Nordstrom Rack--usually looks more flattering) - Black karate pants, Express - Black/Gray shoes, Converse (Converse Outlet Store) - Pink "Juicy" handbag, souvenir from mom's PI trip last fall
We decided to take the train to Portland for the long weekend which also coincides with our wedding anniversary (14 years). We usually go somewhere in Washington (San Juan islands or the peninsula) or BC (Vancouver or Victoria), but this year it's south. The US$ to Canadian$ exchange rate is no longer in our favor, so the next best thing for a family of four is no sales tax.
Hope you're having a wonderful (long) weekend!

ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time in Portland. It's a beautiful and funky city. We'll be down there at the end of June, and I have a list of places to visit and street food to try.
