Thanksgiving in Portland.1

We took our first family vacation together! We went to Portland, OR for Thanksgiving and it rocked. We mostly played it pretty chill, skipped the Black Friday shopping, and lounged around our hotel for lunch (in our defense they have amazing food, amazing! and it is in a cute log cabin looking place)

For Thanksgiving dinner we found a bar that was serving free dinner! But it turned out so much better than that- it was a smoked turkey, homeade stuffing and pies and potatoes yummmmm

They had outside heaters so we hung out on the patio all night watching football and making new friends. It felt perfect.

O and of course we watched some of the James Bond marathon earlier in the day- a MUST

Then the next day we hit the town. One of our new Portland friends said it is the place old people go to retire. Which felt so true, it was relaxed and everyone wasn't in a hurry and there was tons of good food!

We had to of course go to Voodoo donuts and got the voodoo jelly man, bacon maple, and sprinkle donuts

Then when we were wondering around we accidentally found my work's other office in Portland

Portland is overflowing with food trucks! The donwtown has 3 blocks, I said Blocks soley dedicated to them. They are in a corral and it is amazing.
It was a little chilly so we grabbed pho and it was beyond amazingly tasty

Also found a really hipster coffee shop to warm up in :) and of course we bike there, hehe

Our hotel also had chalkboard doors so, not feeling very creative, we drew turkey hands and cowboys over the peephole :)
