Discovering Portland


Today we drove around a neighborhood called Ladd’s Addition. Bean likes Portland so much he actually stuck his head out the window for the first time! We stopped at Hot Lips Pizza - they had amazing blackberry soda ON TAP and some of the best slices I’ve ever had! Next, we headed up towards North Portland to see this cool old Victorian house we had seen during our real estate tour Monday. It's situated along the water and we got a great view of the bridges as well.
Happy hour is quite an event in this city, so we headed to Portland City Grill to see what all the fuss was about - okay, good cheap drinks, $2 appetizers, and a view. I see!
Afterwards we headed over to Mama Mia Trattoria for dinner and some of that cannoli everyone was raving about. Boy, this is a foodie’s town if there ever was one. Nearly every place we’ve eaten has had great service, a good selection on the menu, excellent presentation, and reasonable price.
