It's now Sunday morning in Portland... The flight was long and neither of us got much sleeps. A couple of hours a piece. But we seem to be doing ok... a little tired but we've had two really late nights so I don't think it's jet lag at all.
Our first night in we grabbed pizzas and beers.... my god the pizzas were MASSIVE and so good. From a place called Flying Pie just down the road.
Then yesterday was Michaels 30th. We had a full on day first visiting the Saturday Markets, a crazy big craft market were all the surrounding craftspeople bring there wares... some really cool stuff and some "interesting" people. Then we hit a part of town call Sellwood that is full of antiques and secondhand stores. Amazing what they had... would loved to have brough heaps home with me but I controlled myself. Next we headed out for dinner at McMenamins. It's a massive old public school that now houses several different bars, a restaurant and movie theatre. They make there own range of beers and even I had a pint ;)
Next we went back into town to an arcade that has all the old school gaming machines like Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Street Fighter... it was rad. They even had a photobooth so Jes and I and then Mike and I squished in.
Lastly about midnight we walked to Voodoo doughnut... I'd been so excited to go there after reading about it on the net... there was a queue out the door! Mike and I got the voodoo doughnut that it like a teddy bear with a prezel stick that you stab him with and hes full of jam. Johnny got the maple bacon doughnut.... it literally has a strip of bacon on the top and Jes got the cock and balls... I won't go into that one.
So yeah it was a really busy birthday!
We are up early (yawn) this morning and getting ready to head to Seattle for the night. It's a 3 hour drive from here.
That all for now... with update you once we get back from Seattle!
