Portland {OR} Day 2


Day 2 in Portland was pretty much spent preparing for the beach house and a little more sightseeing. We hit Trader Joe's (which is a luxury that we don't have here in Utah...boo) and we also went to Costco. It was a beautiful day with rain mixed with sunshine. We really enjoyed the clean air and I didn't have any allergies at all the whole time which was definitely a bonus.

We wanted to stop at Voodoo Donut, but as usual the line was SO long and we just didn't have the energy to keep the kids busy and entertained in a long line so we skipped it this time.

We passed the huge group of food trucks. Sorry for the poor quality photo...I was leaning over Paul and trying to get a good pic while we drove by.

Here's a little better pic of some of the food trucks.

This was right by our hotel. A whole neighborhood of floating houses. This idea is pretty interesting to me and I really wonder what it would be like to live in one of these babies. Some of them were pretty decked out. How neat to be able to just pull your boat right up to your house. I need to look into these a little more and see if anyone rents one out as a vacation home...now that would be a pretty interesting place to stay next time we are in Portland.
