Casacaudill, we didn’t go to Multnomah Falls! We’ll have to add that to our list for next time!

Ack, I hit reply initially to say what my absolute #1 fave thing about PDX was and then I forget. Multnomah Falls!

So far I’ve only been to PDX for work (in fact, I’m going back on Tuesday) but a few times I’ve been lucky enough to see the surrounding areas. My top three in Portland are (1) Wandering Powell’s Books, (2) the beer!, and (3) Stumptown coffee.

I do really like the EMP building, I’m in the minority there most locals hate it.

I really do like the Sci-FI part of the museum, I just think they dropped the ball on the music part.

Glad you liked it, It looks like you guys crammed as much as you could and had a fantastic time!

Crystal, we didn’t get a chance for the wine tasting, but we know there will be many more visits that way!

Hi Ana! What a bummer about EMP; we would have loved to see it before the sculpture came down! We did, however, really get a kick out of the horror exhibit, soaking up every minute of it (for about an hour and a half on one exhibit!).

We didn’t get a chance to go to Easy Street or see the troll, as we ran out of time! Another visit is in order – we didn’t get to SO many things on the list (that list recommended by all you guys!).

The city you grew up in is beautiful. We loved it there!

Just so you know it’s “Cupcake Royale”.

I grew up in Seattle in the 90′s and I am not a fan of EMP. They took down a beautiful sculpture garden to put it up and I find their exhibits are lacking. Most of my friends and I have have their 90s ‘memorabilia’ packed away in our closets. I wish they would put more thought into their exhibits and make it a really worthy music museum.

Did you guys go to Easy Street? See the troll?
