Portland with the Emiley's

We indulged in a kid-free weekend with the Emiley's this weekend!  {Thanks to Auntie Jeanie and Uncle Marc for taking the girls for the whole weekend!}  We had such a wonderful time in Portland with this lovely couple.

Cheers!  To the best way to start a road trip with Emily!
{Thanks guys for driving and navigating!}


After checking in {The Benson Hotel} we headed to Tasty n Alder for drinks and dinner.

Here we are the first night!  We had a delicious meal {duck duck potatoes, mussels, seared scallops and more!}


The next day the guys ventured off on their bikes to for various beers.  Emily and I shopped and shopped and shopped and  then finally we ate at Maurice's the cutest french luncheonette!  We had the fluffiest quiche and the most delicate butter cookies with tea of course!


We ended at Clyde and Common for dinner and took advantage of the 3 course meal event.

My entree choice: trout    Erich went with the pork belly


The next morning was beautiful {again} and it was warm enough to sit outside and indulge in one more fabulous meal at Cheryl's before heading home.


Portland you were good to us!  Beautiful weather, delicious food, and we came with the best company!  We will be back!
