We were up and at ‘em early this morning to prepare to Brandon’s presentation and make our way to Portland University! What a beautiful campus! We spent the morning listening to presentations – Brandon was in charge of moderating a few of them. Dr Post and Brandon did excellent on their presentation! He makes me so proud :o)
Before leaving campus we headed to eat lunch with Dr Post at one of the local pub/lunch spots! Beer here is so good! Some good IPA if you are a liker of this type of beer! In Portland, they also give you adult happy meal toys! :o)
Thanks Portland for the ducks and rain!
After lunch we headed back to the hotel for a little nap before hitting downtown for a little Beervana action! Oregon is home to over 90 breweries! Out of those 90, 30 are in Portland! Just for comparison purposes, Texas only has 25! Crazy! Dinner at the pub was great and so was the brew! Brandon and I realized as we sat down for dinner that night that all we had had to drink at this point in the day was coffee…beer…more coffee…beer! I see a trend! In order to keep the trend going we stopped at Stumptown for coffee – it was sooooo good!
Portland definitely made up for the beginning of the state! Everyone is so nice and laid back! The city has a wonderful vibe that is not too overwhelming – actually it is somewhat calm. The Hawkins officially heart Portland!

TRIP SUMMARY
Day 6: Portland, OR
Weather: Cloudy, misty, 60’s….so nice!
Jess’ Jibberish & Bran’s Babbles:
- When in Oregon– there is a law that does not allow you to put gas in your own car – they pump it for you!
- The beer and coffee make you giggly!
- Because in Texas the crosswalks are not used much and in Portland they are - Brandon almost ran over a few pedestrians! Sorry!
- Rain doesn’t stop life
- We unlocked the mystery of where tacos originally came from :o)
