my lil trip to portland:

portland driving

I just got back from Oregon.  I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE it up there.  I’m get nostalgic for Oregon as I went to college there waaaay back when.

I met up with a dear friend in Portland before my visit to Eugene and we had a lil food & shopping adventure!

We went to Pine State Biscuits!  I’ve been wanting to go FOREVER.

I got a biscuit with mushroom gravy & a side of sausage.

We split a side of fried green tomatoes with a dill dipping sauce!

We went to the Ace hotel later in the day & got some drinks & take pics in the photobooth

    Yay for Portland! I love the Ace Hotel. When I went there, I tried the thyme iced tea, too! Wasn’t it AMAZING?!?! Ahhh anyway, next time I’ll have to try Pine State and Clark Lewis. Looks like you had a great time 🙂

    Ooohh, Is Pine State the place the 3 college friends [young guys] started? If so, I saw them on Food Network and I am so jealous 🙂

    Awesome advice, I agree about packing light. I have found that you wear two to three items of clothing constantly so stick to them and keep room for all those treasures you will bring home along the way. I prefer an aisle seat instead of a window on long haul flights. Good luck traveling all.
