Great spot for tea! This location is made from an old caboose and has a hidden seating area.
SuperJoy Coffee Lab/Roasters
Tobin's favorite local coffee roaster. The smaller location on Clay and Park was our go to in our last apartment.
Voodoo Doughnut - Old Town
If you have never heard of VooDoo and you like donuts, it is quite the experience. Be prepared to wait in line outside!
Papa Haydn
Best place for desserts! Togo or sit in, their menu is extensive and has a bit of everything. One of Ashley's childhood favorites, this is the location she worked at through grad school.
Powell's City of Books
A classic Portland bookstore, it has a room for anything you could be interested in!
Portland Farmers Market at PSU
A Saturday Market with great food and local goods, right down the street from our last apartment!
Portland Saturday Market
A Saturday market with local goods and fun purchases. Plus, its close to the waterfront - a great place for a walk!
Oaks Amusement Park
An oldie but a goodie. Small theme park great for spending a day at. Nothing fancy but close to the city and they have a roller rink!
Alpine Slides at Skibowl
Take a ski lift up and ride an alpine slide down! Other activities include go karts, mini golf, summer tubing, bungee jump, zip line and more! Its up on Mt Hood, so Timberline Lodge and lots of hiking trails are all around.

Silver Falls State Park
If you are a fan of waterfalls, this hike is a must! About 45 minutes from Portland, it has trails for many different abilities and distances.

While a little farther out, this town is a wonderful day trip. It is known for its many local breweries, great food, boutique shopping and picturesque hiking opportunities. Tobin and Ashley lived here while working at Mt. Hood - if you visit you can see the epicly long staircase they climbed every day to get to the bus!
