Portland, Saturday.

Well, now we know. We still love Portland! We arrived Saturday at noon, and left early Monday morning. It was a quick, but fabulous trip.  Since we love to eat and walk, that's exactly what we did. Pretty much the entire time. 

Our first stop was the Saturday Market.  There were a ton of people out and about, and the lines for food were crazy.  We almost didn't wait it out, but I'm glad we did.  For only $6.00 we got a giant plate of deliciousness.





Then we stopped at Kell's for an Irish treat. It's kind of our tradition when we're in this city.



While walking back to the hotel, we stumbled upon one of the food truck clusters. We had no idea how popular (and awesome) these little food communities would be.  What a great idea for a quick bite to eat!  The only hard part is deciding what to get.  In the end, Cowboy bought a korean taco, which was a tasty choice.





After a little rest at the hotel, we walked over to the Pearl District, and sampled some tapas at the popular Peruvian restaurant, Andina.  I think Peruvian cuisine just might be my new favorite food group.









Since the night was still young, and Portland is pretty well known for its microbreweries,  we decided to sample a few brews. Our first stop was at Rogue, where it was nice and sunny. Just an hour or so later, we were sitting outside at Bridgeport Brewery and witnessed a complete downpour! For those of you not from the northwest, this isn't typical.  







I could easily spend more Saturdays in this city. Stay tuned...Portland, Sunday is on it's way.

Love,
Betty

Taking a trip...

Yep! Cowboy and I are headed to Portland this weekend! We are pretty excited because it's one of our favorite cities. We haven't been for a few years, so we would love some tips and suggestions. Where should we go? What should we do?

We are interested in pretty much anything that involves good food, drinks, and plain ol' fun. And by the way, I'm secretly hoping we run into these two Portland peeps...

Cosmic Bowling

On Saturday night, Cowboy and I got together with some good friends.  And rather than do the usual dinner and a movie we decided to go bowling. 

But we didn't just bowl. We cosmic bowled. The lights were turned down low, the lanes were bright blue, and the music was bumpin. Not quite what we were expecting, but we all had a fantastic time. Especially Cowboy. That man can bowl.







How about you? Are you a cosmic bowler? 

Love,
Betty

A good stretch. And the latest happenings.

Here's Dudley.



And here's Dudley showing just how good a nice stretch can be.











And in other news...
* Remember that race I ran 2 weeks ago? Well, it turns out not preparing for a race is really a bad idea. I've been recovering from a minor foot injury. Still not exactly sure what I did, but today is the first day I've been able to walk around with no pain.  Humbled and humiliated? Yes. 
* We're making progress on our little bucket list. I've been experimenting with our camera and we've booked a weekend trip in the near future!
*The weather around these parts has been ridiculously lovely. Eating, reading, and gardening outside is just plain awesome.

And that's that. Hope all is well with you!
