Brad & Emily's Adventures on the Oregon Trail: Kerseys Visit Portland

My high school friend, Paul Kersey, and his new wife Leeanna came to visit a few weekends back. I had told them to be sure to come before October so that they would miss the rainy season. They came mid-September, but unfortunately it DID rain that weekend (but, by Murphy's Law, it has been sunny ever since). Oh well, they probably get tired of all that sunshine they have been getting since they moved to Phoenix! :)
We took them on a whirlwind tour of the "Best Of" Portland.
On Friday, we started off with Happy Hour at Portland City Grill to catch the skyline view. Then we headed home to get settled in and meet up with Em, who was just returning from a business trip to Carlsbad, CA. We went for dinner at Jake's (Happy Hour, round 2), dessert at VooDoo Doughnut, and some local brew at Kennedy School before calling it a night. The next morning, we hit the Saturday Market downtown then drove out to the Columbia River Gorge to see the waterfalls. We wrapped up the weekend with brunch at home on Sunday and some football. We made one last stop at the Adidas Employee Store (we won 50% off employee prices in a raffle) before heading to the airport to send them on their way back to sunshine. It was a great weekend, but it definitely flew by too fast. We look forward to heading down to visit them for some sunshine and warm weather during the winter months (as soon as we find some cheap tix). :)
