I can't remember the last time Dave and I had a 'date night' well... last night was it!! All by our selves just the two of us, it was dark, we were 'spruced up' and off!!
We had dinner here,
Then we traveled a little further downtown Portland to Powell's Bookstore. This is always an adventure and a place we take Sam, but like having dinner out, much more fun without him. He prefers the children's section and I prefer almost all the other ones more.
We only had an hour before closing and I can get seriously distracted, but I thought these would be fun to read.

This is one I want to read. I have her other books and they are full of great ideas. The last thing I need right now are more ideas, so I will get it later...
Then since it was only 11pm... we moved on, to see what we could see further down the road.
You can only imagine our surprise to see this handsome guy out on the street!!
Evidently we are the only people not out and about in the late night hours. There were people every where!! They seemed to be having a great time, many were waiting in line to get in and many more were already inside ( some had obviously been there awhile) Oregon State had won their football game and there was celebrating to be done!!
Irish drinks to be consumed.
Sounds like fun, Joy!! Mark and I are overdue for a night out... Those darn kids!!

That sounds like my dream date. Powells...we have planned our whole vacation, (including driving to Portland from Edmonton, Alberta...uh, over a thousand miles) around Powells. Yes, it's true. We are serious book nerds. But the book store is fabulous! And Hot Lips Pizza nearby!?! Oh. My. Gosh. Worth every mile. Throw in the Chinese Gardens, Jamison Square and there you have the perfect vacation.
ReplyDelete*sigh* I love Portland. You are so blessed to live there.
