Good Friends

This past weekend one of my best friends & her boyfriend came from Phoenix to visit Luke & I for a very long (& very fun) weekend. They'd never been to the Northwest, I'm sure all that they knew about Portland was from Portlandia, & that everyone says it rains here all.the.time. :) Lucky for them the weather cooperated & it was sunny & in the 60's all weekend. At some point on Sunday we were all feeling pretty warm & toasty in the sun at the Portland Saturday Market - that can only mean that summer is on it's way, right?! :)

We spent the weekend showing our friends around town, eating VooDoo Doughnuts, browsing through books at Powell's, strolling down some cute shops on Mississippi, catching a few happy hours (at Portland City Grill & Oba) breakfasting at Stepping Stone, dining on a delicious dinner at Russell Street BBQ & some bar crawling in the Pearl Dist (Deschutes, Henry's & Blitz). It was such a fantastic weekend, I didn't want it to end.

I only get to see Erin about once a year, but every time we just pick up where we left, like no time has passed. I know we'll be friends forever because of that :) (The only thing that was missing was Cheyenne). She was definitely there in spirit though :)

More Portland photos coming soon :)
