Portland

Be warned, this is almost like an obnoxious instagram post.

Zoi and I went to Portland last week. Other than the parking ticket it was actually a really cheap trip. We did and saw a lot, and I think it ended up being under $30. The only thing was the parking, but with a little practice I bet I could become a saavy portland-parker and not have to pay very much, if only I knew where the good parking lots were.

We were going to try Apizza Scholls, but it was closed. But Zoi, with her quick Google-thumbs, found another pizza place that had much higher ratings, was in the same neighborhood, and was way cheaper. 
Portland Aerial Tram: $4
Japanese Garden: $7.50
Hot Chocolate: $2.50
Zoi, I think we spent more at Olive Garden a few weeks ago than we did on this trip. Go us!!

According to Yahoo! News, Stumptown Coffee Roasters was voted to have one of best cups of hot chocolate in the nation. So of course we had to go there first. It was very yummy- and they drew a little leaf in our drinks. Shmancy!

if you like pina colads....and getting caught in the rain!

We got rained on while we were at the Japanese Garden, but it decided to start raining right when we sat down in a covered hut/barn thing. After sitting around for a while we decided to brave the rain- and just as we stepped out the rain stopped. So that worked out.



Between the two of us, we took almost a thousand pictures. It was hard to narrow them down to just these, because there were a lot of good ones.
Also, I want more pizza.
