What a meal! Everything was so well done, from the service, to the cocktails, the appetizers, main course and even dessert. The conversations around the table to joyful and meaningful. A great experience, and memorable Father’s Day, all around. Happy and grateful for my family.
In May, Sister had made reservations for the crew at the Portland City Grill, a swanky restaurant on the 30th floor of a building in downtown. We gathered everyone up and started the adventure. While we were waiting, I managed to snap a picture with everyone all dressed up. Enjoy!
After pizza and meeting up with Noah, we made our way across town to the Broadway Cigar Company. It didn’t disappoint! Beautiful walk-in humidor, a relaxed and cool vibe, and I was there with my boys. We spent almost 2 hours smoking, chatting with the shop employee, and taking silly photos. We also got to peek inside the members only side ($2500/year) and get the pitch for the membership + Speakeasy access ($3500/year). Have I already said how much I love my new tracksuit?
Time for a little Father’s Day celebrations! Started the day with a 45 minute walk around the VRBO, followed by some coffee and donuts at the local coffee shop. The group split up again, with some of the gang heading the the zoo, nd my boys and I heading out for some adventures. First up? Pizza and beer! Then a cool mural picture and a drive by the Batteries Plus Noah spent so much time at. How about that track suit???
As we finished up the Rose Garden, it was decision time! We decided to have dinner at a cool food truck park that use to be the Portland insane asylum. After dinner, some of the crew headed back to the VRBO, while the rest of the crew headed towards Noah and Sariah’s new neighborhood for some drinks. The girls decided to walk around and go to the apartment, while Sariah and the boys checked out a rooftop bar, which happened to be on the roof of a former high school. There was also a concert going on, so plenty of fans of “The Damned” were milling around as well. Andrew had one of the funniest conversations I’ve ever witnessed with an older punk rock cougar that was in line in front of us. Quite the story and memory!
We wrapped up our Saturday with a trip to the Portland Rose Garden. It was just incredible! Much more beautiful then when we were last here in the fall. We spent several hours walking around and admiring the roses, as well as taking a few silly photos and people watching from one of the many shady benches. Even managed to get a nice group picture.
