Portland Weekend

Hello everyone!
Because my son goes off to camp every year, we decided to add to it a little and try something new. In 2 weeks, I decided that the day before I send him off to his wonderful week of camp (pic) cookouts, hikes, horse riding, sailing across the sky from a Blob on the lake, shaving cream in the face bit and awesome week of not mom's cooking or lack there of, we are going to spend the day in Portland as tourists; spend the night and do it again the next day. As recommended, not only are we going to the Portland Saturday Market(which I hear is huge) and eat at (pic) Brother's BBQ, and see some musical artisits, we're taking the Trimet and ride the rails all day and visit the OMSI, Pioneer Square, Zoo, Museum, Moonstruck Cafe (where there's a lot of chocolate), Escape to NY Pizza and whatever else we come accross. Highly recommended was Powells Books, apparently the biggest bookstore in Portland, which we will love. I already planned where we're sleeping, but the rest of the time, we'll just go where the rail takes us!!! I can't wait to spend mucho time with my children since starting school and working two other jobs. I'll let you know how much fun we had!
