Fanno Creek Trail
Stretching between three cities—Beaverton, Tigard and Tualatin over 18.6 miles—the Fanno Creek Trail is great for nature walks or biking in a relaxed environment. This paved road goes through forest-like neighborhoods, creek beds, playgrounds, and disc golf. It even passes right by our house!
Pittock Mansion
Such historical beauty. Take a tour of the mansion and learn about Portland's Pittock Family history. Or come to the grounds to see the breathtaking views of Portland. For those looking for an extra adventure, you can hike up to Pittock Mansion.
Multnomah Falls
It's a must seen tourist destination! It get's quite busy during the summer and parking reservations are needed.
Portland's Saturday Market
On Saturday (and Sunday), wander up and down the Waterfront and Downtown streets as you browse through all the local vendors. You'll be sure to find great food, hand crafted art, homemade body care, souvenirs, and much more. While you're there, don't forget to stop by the famous VooDoo Doughnut shop.
Tillamook Creamery
Cynthia loves the cheese. Nick loves the ice cream. Take a self guided tour to see how the cheese is made, or treat yourself to an Ice Cream Tasting Tour (our favorite experience there so far!).
Our Favorite Bites
As Portland has been our home for 3 years now, we have a huge list of our favorite places to eat, dine, and drink. From food carts to dives to a restaurant on the 16th floor. If you need any recommendations, please reach out to us!
