2 months off from Blogging

It's much like running, once you stop the routine, than it is twice as hard to start. It's already August 4th, oh where does the summer time go! Too much fun. The weather in Vancouver has been perfect, so let's keep it that way! Hope yours is the same.

Road Trip to Oregon: Last week we return from a week down in that fantastic tax free haven of Oregon. What good feeling state Oregon is. Plus to have 90F, sun, city and beach time... well let's just say it was  g o o d!

Looking for something Tasty: Perfect spot in Portland on a hot night, PokPok, if you have ever been to South East Asia, PokPok has got it down from the street side ambiance, to the very tasty authentic flavours the far East - WOW.

Lunch? How about a great sandwich in funky spot, then check out Bunk Sandwiches. If you have ever been to Ben's in Montreal, it's kind of like that with a Portland vibe - we really enjoyed it!

Art: If your a decorative artist you may have heard of IDAL (International Decorative Artists League). They held their annual trade show in Portland, exhibitors, classes and artisans are in hand to create some B2B and sharing of knowledge. It was good for me to attend since this was on the West coast and to get a closer look where the industry is and where it is going! There is something good coming... but that is still a few months away from sharing... but it will be very good :)

Colour! Love seeing other cities in the core, away from the predictable 'downtown'. Where sometimes it feels as your the only one in the urban jungle, fore there were moments as we walked the hot streets of Portland... all we could see were the colours of the city and not the sounds of the urban core.

Dounuts? Why... not a big fan personally, but we had a few people at different times mention we should see Voodoo Donuts (the Magic is in the Hole) you see! The kids enjoyed them of course. Look closer at the picure below, there is one with maple icing and bacon... I don't think they offer that type at Tim Horton's? :(
