Visiting Portland for the second time I was able to stay several days longer than my first visit. On the days that Mattie had to work I would borrow her car and check out new parts of the city. One of the places I stopped by first was the flagship store of one of my favorite brands
Poler. I met a couple of super friendly girls working there and struck up a conversation. I told them that I was visit and hoping to plan a trip somewhere with my girlfriend. They highly recommended a trip to Astoria in the remote, northwestern corner of Oregon (where they filmed the Goonies). They also suggested we stay at the Sou'Wester - a cool vintage travel trailer park across the Columbia River in Seaside, Washington. We took their suggestions and ended up having such a unique, fun experience. That night we played games of poker, had a two person power hour, and listened to records all night. You can watch me do the truffle shuffle in front of The Goonies house
here.
