We left on a Saturday morning and didn't want to waste anytime. We headed straight to the famous Saturday Market in downtown Portland, it was the first one of the year. There were so many cool artists there and I was tempted to buy about everything, but I managed to resist! This market is basically like the Farmers Market in Salt Lake but it is so much bigger. It's one of the biggest markets in the country.
After the market we decided to eat at the street vendors, which is another famous Portland thing. Each food vendor sells something unique, whether it's vietnamese, greek, or polish. I walked away with the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. The vendors did not disappoint!
After a much needed vacation nap (I know, already on the first day we're there) we grabbed dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and headed to Star Theatre for a concert.
I know what you're thinking, and no we did not attend the Giggle and Blush Peepshow :) We went to the Noah Gundersen and Joshua James concert. Tyler heard about Joshua James first in Sacramento and has taught me to love his music just as much as he does. The concert was amazing and we listened to his music the whole rest of the trip, didn't even get sick of it ;)
This is just a cool shot that Ty got of the hotel we stayed at. It was very nice and right in downtown Portland. Ty and I planned our trip so that we wouldn't need to rent a car for the time we spent in Portland. Little did we know that Portland is probably the easiest place to get around using public transportation. Using our Iphones, we could route anywhere we wanted to go and never had to wait for a bus or the light rail for longer than 5 minutes. Our hotel was in the perfect location for us to do this.
On Sunday we woke up leisurely and decided to walk to OMSI, Portland's science museum. We went on $2 Sundays so the line was long to get in to it but it was so worth it. Take a look at this picture below and see if you can find something wrong in it other than Tyler hugging a tree man:
Anyone? Anyone? ...The sneak picture of the car accident right behind! We were just walking along and all of a sudden I hear this loud CRUNCH thinking it was a garbage truck or something. Oh no. It was a four car pile up and the poor girl who started the whole accident got the worst of it and was just beside herself. I felt so bad for her :( but it made for a cool picture!
Anyways, continuing our walk to the museum. Gotta do some awesome poses right?
This is the only picture that I got at the museum and it's because I was so proud of myself! They had a bunch of mind-puzzle type games and I tried probably 10 of them and was only able to solve this one. Tyler then goes on to solve it and says, "Wow that one was so easy!"
After the museum we were starved and it seemed like we walked forever to find a place to eat on that side of town. Then we walked some more to the mall and walked around and did some shopping. LOTS of walking! Oh and more walking to the Living Room Theatres that night to see Argo. The Living Room theaters was such a fun theater. You can order from the restaurant before the movie and then they bring the food to you and you eat it while sitting in your lounge chair watching a movie! A nice finish to our long day :)
