Our final destination in the Pacific Northwest was Portland, Oregon!

Portland boasts a really awesome elk sculpture:

David P. Thompson drove sheep to Portland over the Oregon Trail. From 1879-1882 he served as Portland’s Mayor. In 1900, Thompson’s gift of this bronze elk sculpture was intended to commemorate elk that once grazed nearby. Roland Hinton Perry sculpted the elk.

Nicely done, Portland.

Portland also boasts a really, really cute food trailer!

They serve grilled cheese sandwiches (several ways) and tomato soup, and you can eat on a converted school bus with tables in it. FYI, if it’s been a long time since you’ve been on a school bus, chances are you are now taller and that will be weird. But still really fun!

Portland also boasts Mt. Hood.

We got to wave goodbye to Mt. Hood from the air as we left. Thanks, Oregon!
