True Blue Friends



What a treat the last three days were. Two of my dearest friends and their husbands came to Portland for a special spring visit. I had lots of plans in store and the sun stayed out for us most of the weekend. It was perfect!

We stuffed ourselves at some of Portland's finest restaurants. We tried Pok Pok (thai) and Torro Bravo (spanish tapas) for the first time. They have both been on my bucket list for forever. They were extremely delicious. We also devoured some tasty food at the "good food" food carts on Belmont. Yum-Herb's Macaroni was insane! Lastly, we hit Blue Hour for a happy happy hour and one of my favorite breakfast spots- Isabel Cantina (in the pearl). Needless to say- we did not go hungry this weekend!

We power walked the nike campus, enjoyed a beautiful drive to Sauvie Island to sit on the beach, and shopped numerous districts to our heart's content. The boys enjoyed golf, basketball, and local breweries. We also snuck in a game of "fish bowl" (tradition) to finish off the weekend. Memories were truly made!

There is nothing like a visit from your true blue friends to leave you laughing, inspired, warmed to the core, and then oh so sad that they are gone again. Now as we are each back in our own cities (Portland, Seattle, and San Diego)-we look forward to the next reunion and think fondly on this one!

THANK-YOU my friends for brightening up my month with your visit!
