Travels to the West Coast

 The end of September found us traveling up the road to Kansas City to attend the Plaza art show.  It was a beautiful day to walk the streets and view the art.  Of course we had to come home with some treasures.

Home to finishing packing up all our supplies for our trip west...

Flying over Mount Hood on our arrival to Portland...

Brunch at Irving Street Kitchen and the best breakfast I've ever had.  Bread pudding french toast with blackberry plum compote and topped with creme fresh.  So good that we ending our week returning to have it again.  This time with fresh sliced peaches.  

Our second night in Portland found us at Salty's.  Arguably the best meal I've ever had.  

Enjoying our never-ending meal, we relaxed watching the sun set over the Columbia River. 

Staying at the Embassy Suites in Portland...

And yes food was still part of the pleasure as we had our breakfast overlooking the stream that ran through the courtyard.
