Portland and Oregon Part 1.

We had an amazing week of vacation and relaxation out in Oregon. We spent most of our time in Portland and stayed with our good friends Matt & Kat. They were amazing hosts and really showed us a good time in Oregon. Matt & Kat are the owners of bloop oatmeal and I will be writing a whole post about them soon because there is a lot of good stuff to say!

Flying out to Portland was interesting we faced two rain delays in New Mexico and one in Phoenix.  Pato and I though it was funny when we arrived to Portland, Oregon with sunny skies. Matt & Kat took us to some amazing eateries around town. Portland has this thing that if you are going to serve drinks at your bar, you have to serve food. Most of the bars served pretty good food too and healthy for you! So, not only was this trip relaxing, but the great tasting healthy food was an added plus!
So, the trip was blessed with good friends and new friends. Patrick and I got to see his old childhood friend Phil  and his lovely wife Beth who drove in from Seattle to see us.  We then proceeded to get caught up over beers....very LARGE beers.

Yep, I wasn't kidding.  Beers from Prost Portland

So our trip was amazing and it was full of adventure, I could seriously write for days about what we did in Portland and what we saw around Oregon. But I think I'll let some of my photos do the talking. I do recommend Portland and Oregon as a place to add to your travel list!
