On Saturday we headed out to the Japanese Gardens with my parents. It's been an incredible fall in Portland and the sun certainly highlighted the garden's colors. If you're ever in the Portland area, the Japanese Garden is a must. It's especially lovely if you can go on an "off time" where you'll have less people and more calm. There are a variety of gardens that each has its own style, but all of them are natural and tranquil.
Here are a few photos Chris took for your enjoyment:
On Sunday Chris and I went to one of our favorite towns--Hood River. It was a gorgeous day and we spent a lovely afternoon driving around the Fruit Loop and visiting the Alpacas. For those of you who don't know about the Fruit Loop, it is a wonderful place. It's pretty much a 35 mile "loop" of farms in Hood River. Tons of produce, lavender, wool, wine, etc. It's just a beautiful slice of heaven.
Downtown Hood River has great restaurants, shops, and cafes. Chris and I went to Full Sail Brewery for lunch and I had the best burger ever. It was a veggie burger, and comparing it to either a veggie or meat burger doesn't matter because this burger was better than them all. I had the Tempeh Veggie Burger (make sure you get it "Full Sail Style." So if you're ever in the area, try it out! Even if you don't usually have veggie burgers, trust me on this one, you're going to love it.
...drumroll....
