Seattle was a hard act to follow but somehow, Portland did it. It totally charmed us.

From donuts and street art to stellar breweries and cute coffee shops, it's easy to quickly discover PDX's perks and quirks. 

We stayed in Hood River (thanks again, Bruce, for hooking us up!), about an hour outside Portland and totally awesome in its own right. If we had more time, we would have hiked around exploring the Hood River area more than we were able to. (We did, however, have time to enjoy two of Hood River's fantastic breweries!)
