Things To Do
Multnomah Falls
Per the internet, this is one of the tallest year-round waterfalls in the United States. It's the most popular waterfall on the Gorge, so would also recommend heading to a couple others up there if you make the trip that will be less crowded (Oneonta Falls is a very cool, less trafficked option).
International Rose Test Garden
Must see roses in the Rose City.
Forest Park
Easy access nature/hiking in the city.
Timberline Lodge
Cool lodge up on Mt. Hood
Scotch Lodge
Cozy whisky bar, great food.
Multnomah Whiskey Library
Self explanatory.

Powell's City of Books is the largest independent used and new bookstore in the world, occupying an entire city block and housing approximately one million books.

FAQs
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Going to try our best with this one....Portland in September is typically sunny and warm! That said, we hope to spend the evening outside by the water, so would suggest a layer if that sounds like it could be chilly.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Cocktail attire, please! The only real rule: Waverley has a strict no denim policy.
