In preparation for an upcoming vacation to the Pacific Northwest, I started browsing through photos from my trip to Portland, Oregon, last spring. If you've never been to Portland--you must. It's that simple. Oregon as a whole is gorgeous, but I'd move to Portland in a second if given the chance. It is a charming, laid back city. It doesn't need to try to impress you; its charisma will get you in minutes.
I took this photo during lunch down by the river, then I made my way through downtown Portland to Powell's City of Books, where I browsed for hours. After, I joined my aunt and uncle for happy hour at Henry's Tavern. Good times.
