Rain Bucket List

As you may or may not know, Dan and I are living in Portland this summer while he completes an internship designing landscapes for a company here. I was lucky enough to score a job working at the same company putting together newsletters, licking envelopes and you know--livin' the dream. 

There is so much to do here and since my dad so kindly informed us that we are too young to have a bucket list, we have composed a "rain bucket list" of things we hope to do before we leave Portland. Here it is:

Hike Multnomah Falls

We hiked this beauty first^


& then headed down the road less traveled here ^^^
The first picture is the famous Multnomah Falls. The other probably has a name but we can't recall it. The hike is about 1.5 miles to either and it is gorgeous-highly recommend it!

Go to Voodoo Doughnut
This is the sight we were repeatedly advised to go visit...it seems to be a right of passage so we made a stop before visiting the falls. It's as unique as the city to which it belongs and that's all I have to say about that.

Attend Saturday Market


Last weekend we went to downtown Portland and browsed the array of shops and food carts. There was never a dull moment. When we sat down to eat lunch there was a guy preaching, another juggling swords and these guys.

Powell's Books:


While we were downtown, we had to browse the 1.6 acres of books found here. 

Yet To Come: 
  • Rose Test Garden-we heard June is when they bloom whoop whoop!
  • The coast-AN HOUR AWAY!
  • Tillamook Factory (see the world's finest medium cheddar)
  • The OMSI-Oregon Museum of Science and Industry
  • U-Pick Berries (more than 6 oz of raspberries for less than $5? can I get an AMEN?!) 

 feel free to voice any suggestions!
