Adventure Time: Portland Weekend

Pretty Portland

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.

We met Wil!

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.

  1. Barcades are the best! There was one I went to all the time last year in Tacoma. They're good, clean, nerdy fun.

    I'm glad you had fun in the PNW. It looks like it was a good trip.

  3. You 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.
