Strolling the Grounds at the Japanese Garden. I know we've both done this because we've done it together! BTW, picture is from my personal collection here to the right. I love the Japanese Gardens. I went for the first time last year on my birthday. Loved it so much that I bought a membership on the spot. Unfortunately, I've been only one time since -- when we went on Mother's Day. Maybe I'll try to go next week before my membership ends. By the way, are you still thinking about getting a Portland Art Museum membership? I think that may be my one membership for the coming year.
Beer Sampling at Brewpubs. Not necessarily "beer sampling" but I have drank beers at a few brewpubs. But definitely on my list of things to do is hit up all the beer/brew fests they have in Portland, which ironically, Laurie I believe has been to all of them, and I drink more than her and I haven't been to any of them (at least I think I drink more than her, unless she's a closet wino). Wow...I'm not sure what you've been smoking (or drinking). I don't think I've been to any of the beer fests. I've been to a lot of the festivals on the waterfront -- The Bite, Blues Festival, Cinco de Mayo, Rose Festival -- but I don't think I've even had a beer at one of those. As for brew pubs, probably just Rockbottom, Bridgeport Ale House, and various McMenamin's. CORRECTION: While I will not reveal exactly what I was smoking, I had a moment of clarity when Laurie asked me what I was smoking and I remembered it was a different friend, who seems to drink A LOT more than myself, who has been to all of the brewfests. Irony is now lost.
Kayaking Around Ross Island. No, but this sounds fun! Ditto.
Mountain Biking the Leif Erickson Road. No, I don't own a mountain bike, or any bike for that matter. Me neither. I know Laurie's a bike fan.
Hanging Out at Powell's. Yes, but definitely not as much as I should. I think the answer is obvious.
Free Rides on the Vintage Trolleys. No. Man, those are for tourists. Just kidding, but I've never ridden them.
An Afternoon at the Portland Saturday Market. Yes, but again, I need to go back. A few times, but I haven't gone yet this year. The market just re-opened a few weeks ago. Holla!
Summertime Concerts at the Washington Park Zoo. Nope. Yes, and they're really fun. I saw the Indigo Girls there a few years ago. They don't care if you bring food in, so we packed a picnic. Very cool. Oh snap count me in for picnicing.
First Thursday Art Walk. No again! Damn I'm a slacker. I've only been once -- about two years ago. I'd like to check out Last Thursday on Alberta. Oh yeah, totally on our "to do" list. Do you like that by the way? Please advise.

hmm, I must say that one of my favorite portland things to do is take a quick trip to the beach. of course after first stopping at this one bed and breakfast I like to stay at. It's totally high class and the help is always super friendly. The breakfast isn't always prompt, but they have the cutest little dog that wanders around. It's a small mom and pop joint, they usually only have a couple rooms available, and I guess they have a problem with leasing or something because whenever I go visit the place has moved and I always have to look it up in the phone book again, but it's always totally worth the effort! Oh and I saw on their website that they just got a cat too! so I guess if you're allergic you'll want to find a different place to stay while you're in town.
Do tell, the name of this quaint little b & b?
