Salem, OR to Portland, OR
After breakfast at the hotel, we will be heading up the I-5 towards Woodburn Outlet Mall where we will spend at least two hours doing our tax-free shopping. My mum intends do do her Christmas shopping on this trip – I just want a new pair of runners (and maybe a dash cam).
After shopping we will head towards Troutdale where we will be having lunch at Shirley’s Tippy Canoe. This will be our 8th Food Network stop…Shirley’s was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives. We may stop at the Troutdale Outlet Mall before heading into Portland, but that will depend on how well we made out in Woodburn.
I am not sure where we will be having dinner. I have three dinner restaurants on my list for Portland. Frank’s Noodle House, as seen on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives; Fire on the Mountain Wings, as seen on Outrageous Food (and is a guaranteed stop for us in Portland); or Thai Seasons, which is rated the #1 Thai restaurant in Portland on Trip Advisor.
I’m excited to going back to Portland…this city has got to be my favourite US city; not only for it’s food, but also the city itself. This trip I hope to take the Aerial Tram (while Mum does something closer to ground level), and also visit the Japanese Gardens. There is so much to fit into our precious few days here.
Talk to you soon.
