Portland 2025

In June we traversed to the great pacific northwest to visit (and stay) with our dear friends, the Sato’s. Twas a lovely time, with the right mix of nature, foodie food, and indoor gaming due to quintessential weather.

Hitting the Outdoors

Our big hike first full day in was up Saddle Mountain. When Alltrails says, “HARD” they aren’t lying, but we were up for a healthy dose of nature and exercise. It was a doozy, and totally worth it!

A lush forest trail surrounded by tall trees covered in moss and ferns, with sunlight filtering through the canopy.

A lush, green forest scene with tall trees and dense undergrowth of ferns and moss, bathed in dappled sunlight.

The sweeping views were pretty outstanding!

And a bit daunting at times! 😆

Proof we made it to the top. We actually see bit of the ocean from up here too! Sorry Kayleen u missed this! 🥲

After Saddle, we took off the not-to-be-missed Cannon Beach.

Venturing round town

Rest of the time was just as fun at a bit lower elevation. Here’s a sampling.

On our way out we got front row seats to see Dmitri Matheny x at the 1905 Jazz club.

Thanks for an awesome stay Satos!! See you…you know where 😉😆
