NORTHWEST ADVENTURE: PORTLAND

Recently my wife and I went on a camping, hiking and backpacking adventure in the Pacific Northwest. Our First stop was Portland to hit up some of our favorite hang outs such as Food Fight!, Sweetpea Bakery, The Bye and Bye, Back to Eden Bakery and we’d try out A.N.D Cafe for the first time. This was our first time back to Portland after getting engaged here in 2010.

We got to Portland, hit up Vita Cafe for breakfast and stocked up on some backpacking supplies at Food Fight!, treats from Sweetpea and savory tarts to go from Back to Eden for our trip out to Mount Hood. We were about to check out the Overlook Hotel from The Shining which rests upon the volcano which was once called Wy'east. After exploring Mount Hood we’d be back to Portland to spend the night. Then it’s up to Washington to explore Olympic National Park, Seattle, Snoqualmie Falls from Twin Peaks and Mount Rainier National Park. Stay tuned later this week for my upcoming posts on the rest of this adventure.
