Inspired by the one and only Suz....I have added the must have from the 80's, bless that Heart! I put this on my Ipod on Saturday to help push me through the long run. It totally worked too! Anyway, I was feeling the music..here's what we've been up too!
We spent our first day in downtown Portland. The Chinese gardens were peaceful and stunning and very fragrant. Man, it smelled like heaven. 
I love, love, love this picture. It is just so them!
The architecture was amazing. My favorite was the floor though. the simple design made up with tiny stones.
The tea-house.
See look....amazing huh?!
It just smelled so good.
Anyway, while we were downtown, we stopped at the most amazing book store on the planet. I was in awe! It takes up an entire city block - a whole block of new and used books. I just felt smarter walking in there. We also stopped at a random hippie arts farmers market thing. I am a huge farmers market fan - huge, but this was so different. It was just so Portland...and slightly frightening...the thing that put it over the top was the pregnant homeless woman, rubbing her stomach, smoking and bargaining things with a sign asking for donations in front of her. Stuff like that just irks me! Let's leave it at we won't be doing that again. But, besides miniscule amount of slime, the rest was great. It was beautiful day, just being together, discovering together.
