We enjoyed a one night stay in a beautiful neighborhood in the hills of Portland. We used it as a launching pad to visit the Zoo, Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden on Day 1. Next morning we headed downtown to the waterfront and came across the Blues Festival and did a ton of tax free shopping. We had a great dinner at Pok Pok and an awesome "fill you up for the day" breakfast at Mother's Bistro. Both are must hit restaurants. Kristin was very organized and communicative before and during our stay.
