weekend snapshots: portland edition- day 2

day 2 in this lovely city started off a little late 

because we got in late from the movie the night before

the girls let us sleep in until 8am 

(that is pretty good considering they are always up before 7am!)

we had breakfast back at the house

but for lunch we headed out to the grilled cheese grill

 it's a food truck, but what is super neat is that they converted 

a vintage double decker bus into a dining area 

where patrons can eat their delicious grilled cheese sandwiches!

the girls loved the bus

but kept asking questions like:

"where is the driver?"

"what happens if it leaves and we are not done eating?"

ok... i have had many grilled cheese sandwiches in my life

but this has got to be the best one i have ever eaten

as you can see, hubs thought the same thing

it was seriously so yummy!

after our cheese-tastic lunch 

we went back to the pearl district

the day before we had stumbled upon 

the most esthetically eye pleasing water park you can imagine

it's so urban looking, yet so kid friendly and right in the heart of the city!

we wanted to bring the girls back because the day before they didn't have bathing suits on

after splish splashing around for a few hours

hubs and i hit up some more vintage shops and antique malls

once again it was like i had stepped into a brick and mortar etsy

and once again there were so many pretty things that could have come home with us

but of course we can't buy every pretty thing we laid our eyes on

but i did come home with another vintage brownie camera to add to my collection

(hubs has officially cut me off now)

and a vintage kitchen scale, which hubs actually found (he has a good eye!)

 i have been slightly addicted to kitchen scales since
my find during our trip to LA

for dinner we headed over to mississippi avenue

we wanted to try a little mexican restaurant: por que no

every time we drove past this little place, there was always a lineup out the door

and we wanted to know what all the fuss was about

um, can we all say yummy together?

the handmade tortilla chips, salsa and guacamole were absolutely delicious!

oh, and the tacos... the tacos

were like little pieces of heaven wrapped in a tortilla shell 

ok, i am being a little dramatic

but they were super yummy indeed and i have never seen hubs eat that fast before!

the girls kept saying

"this is what dora (the explorer) eats!" haha

kids are so funny

after dinner we did a target run because we don't have target up here in canada (gasp!)

and who doesn't love target?!

and that was  how we ended off our day 2

check out day 1 here

make sure you come back for day 3 later on!

there were just too many weekend snapshots to jam pack into one post.
