Thanksgiving in Portland.2

In true Portland hipster fashion we biked everywhere. But it was also really nice to bike because we could stop whenever we wanted and parking didn't have to be an issue. - OK fine we were being hipster :)

This is the hotel we stayed at. It was also very hipster, ha. But our wall had a mural on it orange in the carpet and a really fantastic bar and restaurant attached to it. So those were also wins.

While we were biking along the water we happened upon a Saturday Market. They had tons of food and homeade goodies. We, of course, ended up getting more pho. Something about it's spicy warm goodness that screams fall.

We also got to meet up with a friend from Cincy while we were there. John has been living in Portland, we called him up and all met up at a bar with his friend Amy. We played euchre all night! GIRLS WON! Euchre is Midwest card game and John had been dying to play it. I am so thankful for meeting up with them. We had fun conversations, talked about memories, and laughed a whole whole lot. When we left the older bartender said he couldn't get over how funny we thought playing cards was. He said we were so loud and laughing so hard that he couldn't help but smile. So I told him what we were playing and he then told me he knew it- he was from Cincinnati! How fun and cool is that!

This Thanksgiving I was thankful for random moments and meetings like that. Our weekend was filled with companionship even if it was 2 hours next to a random guy at a bar eating turkey. We missed our families but it really felt like we were surrounded by one anyways, even if they were temporary.

Plus we really loved going on vacation together. Next we're planning a camping trip!

When we got home hubs made me eggs in a basket and bacon and we watched How I Met Your Mother all afternoon!
