Vir was feeling a little tipsy from drinking her Bailey's Irish Cream on the plane, but as soon as Viv called, Vir was so excited to see the girlies that she skipped merrily all the way to the baggage claim and out to the curbside of PDX. On the gloriously sunny day, Viv pulled up in her sleek Black Saturn for Vir's arrival. As soon as Vir packed her jenky suitcase in the trunk, VAVK quickly sped to the nearest restaurant and wound up at Tin Shed, where they sat inside and ate their breakfast for lunch meals.
With their tummies feeling very happy, they trotted downtown and wandered around to witness an Italian Festival, beaver fountain structures, and groups of people boarding the Maxx (later to learn that it's FREE!!). VAVK proceeded to the Pioneer Place and ended up at Forever 21, where they perused for rainbow rings. Sporting their fabulous rings, the girls squeezed their way through an army of people in the sweltering heat to reach the waterfront, while seeing inflatable jalapeno peppers, a gigantic tomato, and little kids shoving leaves into a camel's mouth.
After walking for what seemed like forever, VAVK boarded the lovely Maxx back to downtown, stopping to clap in public for some groom and bride, and headed to Saburo's. And this place did not disappoint. The 1 hour long wait was worth it because out came a platter of supersized sushi rolls! They were all so full.. it felt like they had to be rolled back to the car and back to Vivian's house. To cap off the night, they reminisced about the past over childhood photos until the wee hours of the morning, anticipating for the next adventure to come-- Silver Falls =).
