For our drive to Portland we decided to make road trip out of it. We stopped by San Luis Obispo, drove up the PCH to Big Sur, and spent a day in San Francisco.
First stop was Bubble Gum Alley in San Luis Obispo, where Buddy tried to eat the old bubble gum. Adam and I both had to add a piece of gum, I had to be careful to only touch my gum when sticking it on the wall!
Next stop was San Francisco. We took the boat to Alcatraz and went on the prison tour which was surprisingly very good and interesting.
Then we visited Ghirardelli square and got our free square of chocolate! We saw a store named 'Gigi + Rose' so of course we had to check it out.
We also went on a ride on the trolley to chinatown and had a really good lunch. And of course we had to drive down Lombard street. And on our way out of town we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge.
The only run-in was outside of Shasta Lake, CA. We were stopped on the road for 4 1/2 hours! Ugh, it was painful and we still aren't sure why we were stopped for that long. After all that we finally made it to Portland and are still settling in and trying to get used to the wet weather!
