Pictures from Portland/Seattle

Welcome to downstown Portland.

I know...I know...you guys are probably saying it's about damn time I'm posting these pictures right? Anyway here they are, enjoy. So like I said in my previous post, we spent Saturday through Thursday at Portland, so majority of our vacation was spent here. It's a really pretty city with plenty of culture and character. The weather was amazing and they had the MAX that pretty much takes you everywhere. We did a really bad thing and never paid for our tickets the entire time we were there but no one ever checks so I guess it all worked out good.

Down by the waterfront.





Down by the Pearl District where all the really nice lofts are (L) In the Pioneer Square downtown with lots of alternative and homeless crowd (R)

So being in Portland for approx 6 days allowed us to really explore the entire downtown. Went to most of the shopping malls and different districts. We also went out to the clubs and bars just about every night. On Thursday morning, we picked up our rental car and headed to Seattle via the Oregon coastal roads stopping in Cannon Beach and a few other small tourist cities.

Love these very artistic pictures at Cannon Beach, thanks to Justin =)

So we spent a couple of hours driving along the very beautiful coastal roads of Oregon. We finally arrived Seattle later that evening. Our hotel was quite ghetto as it was the cheapest one for the entire city. It was the "best value inn" so you can imagine how it was ;) We were also located at the SEATEC area which is really about 20 mins South of Seattle downtown. So we only had Thursday night, Friday and Saturday morning in Seattle. Not too much time to explore this wonderful city. I really have to make another trip up there. I managed to meet up with Bobby and Brandon while there. We all had dinner. The clubs in Seattle are definitely hoppin'!!

Chilling by the Capitol Hill area in Seattle right before we all went out to the clubs and bars. Love this City!!!
