When we show people around Portland, these are the top priorities
- drive the freeway around the city to show off the bridges
- walk around the reservoir in Mt Tabor park if the weather is nice
- drive out to Multnomah Falls
- hang out in Powell's books if the weather is bad
Other nice things to do if there is time
- walk through the Rose Garden
- walk through the Japanese Garden
- walk through the Chinese Garden
- drive up to Mt Hood lodge and have hot chocolate (day trip)
- drive out to the coast (day trip)
We used to always make a stop at the Church of Elvis, but I don't know where that is anymore.
Restaurants that we have to show off to visitors
- Esparza's (Tex-mex)
- Lemongrass (elegant Thai)
- Nicholas' (Lebanese)
- Pho Van (Vietnamese)
- Legin (Chinese)

Saturday
- Arrive 2:30pm or so

Sunday
- Can't get out of church, so Ryan and Julie will be busy until 1pm
- drive to beach or Mt Hood (Julie stays home to visit another friend in town)
- Cannon Beach is pretty, but not too different from northern Michigan. I recommend driving up to Mt Hood because that is really different than anything in Indiana.
- 45 drive to Multnohmah Falls, through the gorge
- another 1 hour drive up to Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood for hot chocolate
- get back into Portland for dinner out (Julie is having dinner in with Jen) What sounds good? Tex-mex, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Lebanese? Other?
