Last Sunday we woke up in Portland (well, Gresham, but close enough.) Joe and I were trying to find a cute place to go for Sunday brunch, and after going on yelp and urbanspoon, I remembered that we had seen several places on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. We knew Guy Fieri couldn't lead us in the wrong direction! We decided to go to Byways Cafe to try their famous French Toast. We were prepared to wait a while, since the reviews online said on Sundays it can be busy, but were pleasantly surprised when we were seated right away! They served Stumphouse coffee, which I've heard from Portlanders is the best, and it was delicious. I had blueberry pancakes - probably the best I've had! Joe had this delicious scramble.
After being satisfied with breakfast we proceeded to find antique shops. We found a couple of neat ones where we added to our antique bottle collection and Joe's new antique camera collection.
My friend Jen had suggested that we check out this bookstore called Powell's. I was not sure what to expect...but wow! This place probably had every book I could think of - both new and used. Joe and I stayed for about an hour, but I could have stayed for longer. We had so much fun!
After checking out Powell's it was time for us to hit the road back to California. So we put on Steve Jobs' biography audiobook and drove down to Redding.

Day 7: Home!
After six days on the road, the last day of driving can seem to take forever. We were only about four hours away from home, so we decided to take it slow and take the long way home, checking out antique stores here and there.
By the time we got home and picked up salads at Chipotle we were exhausted, but we managed to get everything upstairs and in our apartment by 8:30.
Phew, those seven days went way too fast!
