Portlandia
Days 114 and 115 Portland is it! This place is where its at. I could easily make this place my home. We spent 2 jam packed days here. Here’s how it went down…. We pulled into Portland hungry. Parked in the trendy Pearl District Neighborhood, then stumbled upon a local hotspot, Hot Lips Pizza. It [...]
I Got 99 Plannings and Today Aint One
Hit Me! We took showers. Aimee made us a delicious breakfast of pumpkin pancakes(from scratch), bannas, brown sugar, eggs, and toast. She’s spoiled us. We meet up with Mike and C-Liu and set off on an adventure planned by mike while he was at work the previous night. He wrote it all down in a [...]

Chores, Drives, and Deep Fried Pork Belly
Slept in late. We had a lot of catching up to do. Most of today was dedicated to chores. We cleaned and organized the van, went supply shopping, sent out some packages, made a business call, and spent a couple hours in a Starbucks finishing past due blogs. After grabbing some po’boys at a really [...]
