Samara was traveling for work and was in Seattle and decided it would be fun to come visit. Felicia has been wanting to visit as well, and this seemed like as good of time as any. Samara came down on the train and then Felicia came in on a very late flight on Friday. We have no pictures to prove this.
On Saturday, Eric went into work for a few hours and Samara, Felicia and I slept in. After several hours, we finally made it out the door. We missed the bus into downtown by about a minute and decided to walk instead. We stopped to get coffee (duh) and then walked the nearly 2 miles into downtown (I gave them incorrect information and said it was only about a mile. Clearly, I am an idiot). Once in downtown, Eric met us and we walked to get some food, as we were now starving from our long trek. We all got things from different food carts and then sat to enjoy.
For some reason, Felicia is very paranoid that she has food stuck in her teeth. From here, we walked around downtown a bit eventually ending at Nordstroms so Felicia could buy a sweater that she already has in ever single color. At least she didn't have to pay sales tax. From there, we headed to Tiffany's to get some ideas for jewelry for the wedding. After all this walking, we need to go home to rest. Unfortunately we didn't rest for very long. Instead, we headed out to have dinner at the very delicious Toro Bravo.
They have delicious sangria. This is why we drank 2 pitchers and not because we are lushes.
The food came out one by one and all dishes were super tasty.
This is Felicia showing you how tasty the dishes were.
Once again, the food in teeth ritual.
We did manage to get once decent picture.
After dinner, we headed out to get some ice cream for dessert. We headed to Ruby Jewel.
Instead of eating it, Felicia decided to wear it. It was still delicious. On the way home, we stopped at TJ's to pick up some Asti. This was consumed while playing a Wii dancing game where we all looked ridiculous. It was still very fun (ra ra rasputin).
Ta'ami was being his normal self and wanted to play toys without actually giving them up. Felicia fell for his evil tricks.
The following day, after a good nights sleep, we had brunch at Irving Street Kitchen.
It was very tasty. They had coffee that was as thick as tar and we were jittery afterwards. We drove around, showing them different areas of Portland, and eventually ended up here.
It's the Up! house! PSU is doing construction around this house and apparently they attached balloons. We thought it was hilarious. Lots of other people did too since we weren't the only people taking pictures. Afterwards we went to the rose garden. Since the sun had finally come out, we were not the only people with this idea. It was impossible to find a parking spot near the garden so we took a hike.
Once in the garden, it was a lovely day. We met and made friends with a puppy named Apple. Samara and I also managed to take one decent picture.
Since it ended up being a rather warm day, we went and had Hawaiian food for lunch and then enjoyed some shave ice.
That evening, Samara and I made rugelach and relaxed. We had a pretty busy weekend.
The following day, we slept in and then went to HUB for lunch. We got a seat on the patio and enjoyed a beautiful day. That evening we went to a BBQ at Mike and Molly's.
Afterwards, we took Samara and Lesh to the airport. It was sad to see them go but we had a very fun weekend!
