Portland, Oregon
Keep Portland Weird.
I knew from the first moment I was going to love this city. We spent only a total of three days in the city because our actual trip itinerary included hitting the Oregon coast, wine country, mountains, waterfalls and more.
Portland has SO many great things. I feel like the city is easy to navigate and so much to explore. Great food, excellent beer and I love the artsy scene.
