SLCvegans: Road Trip to Portland

This month we traveled to Oregon for 10 days, first stopping in Grants Pass to visit with the Weiseths. We kayaked the Rouge River and shared some amazing Bergstrom wine together (Salud Bonnie!). Then off to Portland, where we had a blast with too many friends and family to mention. There was running on the waterfront, walking and talking at Laurelhurst park, eating and drinking at dozens of new and old favorites, shopping on 23rd and Hawthorne, watching weird movies and dozens of episodes of Modern family, having a guy sing "lets get this party started" in my face at the Alberta Street Fair, celebrating a friend's birthday, rooming at the Jupiter and Edgefield and the Sandoval's and the Hendrix's, "hiking", and wondering if the normal looking jeep bumping the "Ice Cream Truck Song" was in fact, an ice cream truck. Lots of good times, and needless to say, a fair share of tears on the way home.

We also received the best homecoming from our new community here in SLC, and I was especially aware of how thankful I was for this amazing group of friends that evening.

Here are a few pictures from the front end of our vacation and the food we love in Oregon (There would be more, but I tend to forget my camera when I'm having too much fun).
