Shopping

Shopping at The Portland Outdoor Store! Thank goodness this store was able to survive all these years. Where else can you get great outdoor gear for cowboys? They still even sell saddles.... Mike and I got some jackets. Mike also got a western shirt from Pendleton that has the dress faux pearl snap buttons.

Lunch Near the Marina

Taking a nice seafood lunch by the Marina. Mike had the fried oyster po' boy sandwich with a salad and I had the seafood Cobb salad that had crab, scallops, shrimp, bacon, avocado, egg and lettuce. Bear was good and just hung out under the table. (Which was not always the case when we ate out. Being good that is...)

Steel Bridge

Mike getting ready to take a snap of one of Portland's many bridges across the Willamette River.

Waterfront Park

View of a great park along the river.

Waterfront Park Water Feature Part Two

Second attempt at getting Bear interested in the water feature....

Waterfront Park Water Feature Part One

Today it's 90 degrees so Mike was trying to get Bear to cool off at one of the park's water features.

Not Impressed

Bear was not that impressed about Multnomah Falls. Yes, he's wearing his Kool Collar to help him keep cool in the heat.

The Big One

Multnomah Falls. This was the 3rd and the highest falls in the group of 5 falls in the same area on Route 30.

That's Pretty High

Mike checking out one of the falls on Route 30. I already forgot the name but it starts with the letter 'L.'

Looking...

Mike and Bear looking at the falls.

Columbia River Gorge

Peek of the Columbia River Gorge.

Looking east out onto the gorge. Bear wasn't sure what was going on.

On The Way Down...

Mike and Bear on the way back down the trail.

View of Mt. Hood

Mike and Bear near the view of Mt. Hood. At this view point you can see all five mountains (St. Helens, Adams, Hood, Rainier, Jefferson) but Hood looked the best as it's the closest.

Oatmeal Food Truck

This morning we got oatmeal the the Bloop Oatmeal food truck for breakfast. Yesterday we got egg sandwiches for breakfast at another food truck called Brunchbox.

Getting coffee at Stumptown, a local coffee company that roasts their own coffee. They have a jar of dog biscuits for the pups inside. Yes. Portland is ridiculously dog-friendly.

No Sleeping In

There's no sleeping in when The Bear is around.

Bear's Shopping Trip

Yes. Bear is on vacation too and got to have his own shopping trip. That's a cooling collar that will be filled with ice. And yes, that's a T-shirt.

Second Pub in PDX

Mike enjoying one of the local brewski's .... All the while enjoying listening to Night Ranger....

And Waiting...

Bear waiting outside Powell's Books for Mike. (The nation's largest independent bookstore!)

Still waiting...

Hurry Mike hurry!
