Day 3: Portland

We finally arrived! We had a nice sleep in time this morning, and didn't leave the hotel until 10 o'clock. Our plan was to do a little shopping before we hit the road. Unfortunately, half the thrift stores in the town were closed for the 4th of July weekend. How weird is that? We did go into a music store, an antique store and the only open thrift store on the street. Luckily, my mom and I were both able to find some treasures.

We headed for Portland, and after a nice lunch at Dairy Queen, I was able to drive again. Dairy Queen serves gravy with their chicken strips. Luckily the calories aren't right on the menu :) Oregon likes to warn you when a D.M.V. is coming up, just in case you need to know.

My aunt and uncle showed us an interesting place for dinner. It was called Killer Burger and they put bacon on every burger they serve. Yum! Then I taught my aunt how to use Facebook and we had some nice family time. We have a busy day planned for tomorrow and I am excited to get back in the city.
