May 2021 - Portland, Oregon
We spent a long weekend in Portland and had fun checking it out. Downtown was still mostly boarded up from the riots, but we had a great time in some of the nature sites outside the city. Out to the coast, inland to a beautiful waterfall, and a fun visit to the Tillamook creamery.
