On a whim, Friday afternoon my Robster and I packed our bags...and Jackson's 'diaper bag' (Rob's words, not mine), dropped our pup off at the sitter's house and made our way down to Portland for the weekend.It was a couple days full of doing what we do best...going to the movies, staying up late, eating out, shopping and sleeping in. Oh, and our version of car karaoke. It was such a great time! Rob went and saw The September Issue without so much as a groan. He also followed me around shopping all Saturday (and half of Sunday!), even carrying my bags. Have I got a winner or what!?!
Our movie night was actually a double. After the first show we decided to stick with the documentary theme and stay around (and out of the cold) to see Capitalism: A Love Story. Great movie, but definitely a different feel from the world of Vogue we'd just visited. There was a Halloween convention-like thing going on in the hotel during our stay. This big scary guy (I thought was a statue!) caught me off guard and I nearly lost it when he lunged for me. Halloween is weird. ☺ After a great Chinese lunch in the Pearl District and then a few hours and few hundred dollars later at Powell's City of Books we were on our way back to good ol' Washington State. We ♥ us some Portland!

Glad you were able to get away. AGAIN. I am so jealous. Jackson says "Stay Home, please."
Bookstores are my weakness. It's difficult to not go and drop a big wad of cash. For some reason the local library just doesn't "cut it" for me. ;)
I'm glad you got to get away. What is the september issue? I guess it's not playing here yet. was it good? I would like to micheal moore too. Shopping is favorite. I should come shopping with you soon. Too bad I don't win the lottery in Colorada this past weekend.
Nice! My husband HATES shopping but that's fine by me because I hate it even more!
I haven't even heard of the september issue!
