Portland in a day?

[Deleted]

There's other things to do besides eat in Portland?

<---- dumbfounded.

If Thor wasn't with you, I would recommend going to a strip club called Mary's.

A favorite restaurant/brewery of mine is McMenamins Kennedy School, Thor wouldn't be allowed in all the areas, but some.

Tax free shopping! Are you loving VAT?

Hm, OMSI is cool. The zoo is also nice. Rose Gardens!

LOL. I thought food and tax free shopping went hand in hand. Like mac and cheese.  

Uhhh... I miss being able to claim VAT on purchases now. I paid, like, $8 for a cube of post it notes. 

I thought of something! The gondolas! I've never done it, but it looks cool. There. Non food activity for Portland.

Powell's bookstore, Voodoo doughnut, OMSI, Stepping Stone Cafe (featured on man v food), rose gardens

Ditto. (Powell's is the book store.) We were supposed to do a PDX weekend trip a couple years back but it kept getting postponed due to work craziness. I actually had a spreadsheet of breweries I wanted to hit, but I must have finally deleted it. I know Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), Ninkasi, and Laurelwood were ones I was really looking forward to.

What? You mean we shouldn't take our baby to a strip club?!

Also, sadly, strip clubs are not our general style. XD Woops. But ahaha, I'll keep that in mind for other friends who might visit that do like that.

Ooh! I wonder if the McMenamins place has rooms open for the day/weekend we're going. Hmm.

sorry, i couldn't resist. this is all I could think about.

Deschutes, Rogue,and Bridgeport are all in Portland.

We loved the Classical Chinese Garden. Voodoo donuts (that only partially counts as food, that's a landmark!). We went on a walking tour that was about 2 hours, billed as learning about the "shady side" of ghosts and prostitutes of early Portland but I guess it depends on the guide as ours downplayed all that as much as he was able, but learning about the early history of Portland and cool architecture was neat. Then again, we're nerds

OMGod, I'm so embarrassed I didn't think of Powell's!!

Why not? Thor will just regard it all as a baby buffet for all those boobies
