A Weekend With Steff

A few weeks ago, my sister Steff came to Portland to visit us for the weekend. I love to have visitors in town, especially my sisters. We always have such a fun time. She flew in on Saturday morning and after we picked her up, we headed to breakfast. Steff loves biscuits and so we took her to Pine State Biscuits. They are known for their wonderful biscuit breakfast sandwiches.

Steff got a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit sandwich.

Jeff got the McIsley sandwich, yes that is fried chicken, with pickles and honey. It's not the most healthy breakfast, but it sure tastes good.

After breakfast, we went to the Saturday Market in downtown Portland. It's always a good time. Lots of great things to buy and tons of interesting people to watch.

The next thing on our list was to visit the Pittock Mansion. Steff found the Pittock Mansion on the internet and wanted to check it out. I had heard of the mansion, but never made it up there. I'm so glad we went. The grounds are beautiful and the view is amazing. Touring the mansion was very interesting too. I think it was well worth the trip. Here are some pictures.

Jeff sporting his red shoes. People love those shoes, every time he wears them he gets a million compliments from random people. It's actually kind of a game with us to see how many compliments he gets in a day.

We lucked out, the weather was beautiful.

I loved all the vibrant colors of the flowers.

Sunday was a pretty relaxing day, we went to church and then Jeff made a wonderful dinner. He made an Indian dish with eggplant and chickpeas. I wish I would have taken pictures of that.

Monday, was the last day Steff was in town, so we headed to the outlets to do some serious shopping. Steff wanted to find some back to school clothes and the outlets did not disappoint. We had a wonderful time.

Thanks again for coming out to visit us! We had a blast!
