Portland, OR
Today, Todd made breakfast (pancakes, yum!) and then we set off for a hike in the Mount Hood National Forest. It was freaking cold up there, Mr Bigglesworth – I could see my breath. But it was a lot of fun and extremely scenic.
We came across this massive Y-shaped tree and I managed to crawl up it and wedge myself into the Y as if it were some kind of hammock – that was fun.
We walked around Mirror Lake and saw lots of snakes in the grass! I got one of the snakes on film, and Todd got some pretty amazing photos.
Once we got back to Portland, we ate dinner at Montage, a Louisiana-inspired restaurant with lots of artwork on the walls and a laid-back atmosphere. Our doggy-bags were actually our leftovers wrapped in aluminum foil and crafted into elaborate designs – Todd’s was a crab, mine a jester hat, and people seated near us got roses and swans.
