2 for 1

Friday! End of the tough work week for most and we respect you, we do! As for us we are lucky enough to say that we got a nice start by hitting up the food carts for breakfast.. Went to Brunch in a Box. It basically offered fancy and delicious egg sandwiches... After we had our wiches we headed out to Mt Tabor Natural area. This is a little park tucked away in Northeast Portland. It is home to two reservoirs which was a new sight to see to both of us. We hiked  for an hour and a half and wanted more so we decided to make our way to "The Butte". The bus ride took forevvvverrr but we finally made it. At first, we felt like we were just hiking dirt trails in Texas but it turned into a gorgeous view of the mountains. We were in the park for about 2 hours. So by the end of it all we were some very tired puppies. We made it back to our neighborhood, stopped by Fred Myer's for some refreshments and pretty sure we were both passed out by 8:30!

Saturday (Bec's B-day eve)
We slept in, got a late start to our day but felt that the sleep was much needed. Our plan was to make it to Voodoo doughnuts again, but when we got there, the line was too long and we were not feeling patient. We walked a little bit and found an Irish pub/restaurant. We both ate a lunch that kept us full for hours!Next, we made our way to the oldest brewery in Portland, the Tugboat brewery, where much to our disappointment, it did not open till 5pm. Soooo we headed to the Saturday Market for some entertainment. There was food, beer, and vendors of every kind. The best part of it was the people watching :)

The Saturday market had everything to offer and we had to keep a tight hold on ourselves in order to avoid buying everything is sight! We window shopped and wondered in amazement for hours.. We decided to head out to Gresham, where we passed on Friday, because we saw super cute little shops. Guess those packed up and left sometime before the afternoon because they were nowhere in sight! Back on the MAX we got and headed to a local spot in our hood that had amazing happy hour offerings and pizzzzzzaaa. Once we got there we found a delicious local beer (Session) and friendly faces. We chatted with the owner (Luke) and enjoyed our goodies :)

After UFO Pizza we decided to go ahead and get Voodoo doughnuts in order to avoid the morning line.
And this is where our evening ends. Tomorrow is Bec's b-day so there will be much celebrating! Miss you all!  <3
