PDX 2013

One year ago today, we were out in the Portland area spending time with family for Thanksgiving, and now, we have finally finished our trip recaps (for only the second trip ever!). This wasn't really a true vacation for us since it was just a family visit and we didn't really make any choices whatsoever as far as what to eat or what to do. As a result, we didn't go chronologically through our trip and the posts were a bit more of a mishmosh of memories and the food we ate. But we finally finished!

Only about half of our posts actually deal with the State of Oregon, but I don't have a Washington State picture too, so this will just have to do

You can find all the Portland posts here under the label PDX 2013. But if you're looking for something specific...

We had Chinese food in a couple of places, like a pretty good dim sum at Ocean City and a tasty Cantonese dinner at HK Cafe (still want more salt and pepper fish).

We had some sandwiches, like the one from the deli counter at the QFC grocery store and East Coast style sandwiches from Philly Bilmo's. (Both were fine, but we don't dream about those like the salt and pepper fish.)

We went grocery shopping (including at Costco) and also tried some grocery store products like Brazi Bites, which was some excellent pao de queijo.

Or maybe, finally, you want to read about our breakfast when we left and our breakfast when we came back (both in the NYC area, not PDX, but it's for the PDX trip so it counts).

As far as PDX 2013 goes, that's all we've got for you. We did visit some other places on previous visits to Portland that hopefully we'll get back to reflecting on someday, but as for last year's holiday visit, we're filing it away in the back of our minds because we're done with that!
