We came out here today for a week-long getaway. Lola is at home enjoying time with Grandma who came in from Florida to stay with her--lucky gal!
Our flight left at 8 am this morning and arrived at 1o am Portland time. When we got off the plane, it seemed as if they dropped an airport right in the middle of a beautiful green forest. We walked outside and were greeted by the most refreshing scent--PINE! Never in my life have I ever seen so many beautiful green trees. We know it rains here often (which accounts for the beautiful greenery) but it is a stunning day today--75 degrees with not a cloud in the sky.
The hotel we're staying at is very neat. It's got an Old Hollywood theme to it. You can check it out here: HOTEL DELUXE The lobby smells of Lily's, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and the hotel's restaurant is called Gracie's (how sweet is that?!).
After we got settled into our room (which features subway tile in the bathroom, my fave!) we headed to the Pearl District. Very artsy, charming and hip. We had a great pub lunch at Rouge Ale Distillery and stopped into a few baby boutiques. We're having a blast but we're not going to lie--we miss Lola so much. Seeing all the sweet baby gear didn't help!
After the Pearl, we headed down to the waterfront park. This beautiful day seemed to bring out all of Portland. (I'm sure alot of people we're calling in sick today because of this awesome weather.)
We're relaxing a bit before we head out to dinner and tomorrow--we're headed out to the coast to visit Cannon Beach. Looks like it's going to be another beautiful day of 70s & sun! (I'll try to post some pics tomorrow--didn't take any today!)
