A few weeks ago, Chris, Melissa and I went up to Portland to see Joel (Melissa's fiance) in Midsummer Nights' Dream at the Portland Center Stage. We spent the weekend exploring the Autumnal Paradise that is Portland!
We walked around the city, stopped in a ton of little shops, ate lots of delicious food, and generally enjoyed the cool, rainy weather.
My haul from Powell's Books. I could have spend another 5 hours looking through all their wares.
We went to Ground Kontrol, and amazing arcade and bar that serves grilled cheeses, and ran into Wil Wheaton. It was like nerd paradise!
It was a great weekend.
And PS, Joel proposed to Melissa the day after we left! Love in Portland!
Barcades are the best! There was one I went to all the time last year in Tacoma. They're good, clean, nerdy fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had fun in the PNW. It looks like it was a good trip.

DeleteD'awwwh! Looks like a fun time :) My guy and I are going to Portland this spring for his old roomie's wedding!

DeleteYou hit all my favorite spots in Portland. Hope while you were at Ground Kontrol you played Lord of the Rings Pinball - can't begin to tell you how many quarters I've poured into that machine.
