1//loving life 2//chicken samosas 3//wings 4//happy boy

Jeff and I had the pleasure of celebrating our anniversary all day on Friday. It was so beautiful out and since we are leaving for Salem soon we took full advantage. 
We tried a new restaurant for brunch; Jam
Verdict: Big mimosas, yummy food, will go again.

We went on the Aerial Tram which I've been wanting to do for a very long time. 
It was busy but awesome views!

Jeff surprised me by suggesting we get pedicures. 
{it was his first!}
It felt so good after a summer at camp. Jeff was nervous and liked some parts of it but isn't sure he will get another one anytime soon. Oh and I got an awesome hot pink color. I'm still smiling when I look at my pedicure.

Finally we had happy hour at Departure
I am kind of obsessed with roof top everything. 
Sadly the west deck was closed and even though the east deck was open, since the weather was so awesome, we weren't the only ones with the idea. So we ate inside, which I was mildly disappointed but not after I ate and drank everything. 
My drink {Pama Sutra} was pretty in pink and light and citrusy. My favorite food items were the wings and the chicken samosas {yellow curried!}. 
I'll be honest, it's expensive and very small plates, but it was really fun for a celebration and I've been wanting to go back ever since we went for drinks a year ago.

Spints Alehouse

Spints Alehouse has been on my list of places to try for a long time. 
Naturally, I bought a Groupon for it a few weeks ago. 
Jeff and I ordered pulled pork sandwich, pretzel, pork sausage with cheesy polenta, and I ordered a pear cider.
For dessert we ordered the sipping chocolate and smores. 
The dessert was definitely the standout highlight and we would absolutely go back for that!
We went early Monday evening, and it was very quiet inside. I look forward to going back when it's warm and sitting outside. They also had some yummy looking cocktails I would try next time.
I would definitely recommend Spints for Happy Hour and dessert.

Pambiche HH

A few nights ago Jeff and I went to Pambiche in NE Porland for Happy Hour
We've been talking about going there forever and it finally worked out! I meant to get a photo of the amazing building, but if you've drive by, you know what it looks like. Bright pink, yellow, teal, purple. 

We sat outside, it was cold out but the waitress turned on the heater right above our heads and it was nice and toasty. Each table outside has a heater above it. Nice to sit outside for once and not freeze!

Pambiche is Cuban, we ordered cheesey potato & chicken empenadas, pollo frito {a big fried chicken thigh} and rice and beans. Jeff got a daiquiri and I ordered their signature lemonade. Everything was delicious! I liked the cheese potato empenadas and Jeff preferred the chicken ones. But that's nothing shocking, we both knew which would be our favorites. We even ordered a second piece of chicken, it was so good, fell right off the bone. We thought about and looked at the dessert and it all looked so beautiful but we decided to try it next time. 

Banana ketchup? Tried it, but wasn't my fave.


The waitresses loved my pink pants, I loved their sweet comments and food/drink suggestions!

A Vineyard

On Saturday Jeff, Becca {his sister}, and I went to Stoller Vineyard {in Dayton, OR} for a Camp To Belong Auction Fundraiser. CTB is not only an amazing camp and program for reuniting siblings separated in foster care but it is held at Camp Silver Creek, where the three of us work. 
Beautiful weather and such a beautiful vineyard.

On another note, I am going to be holding a Suit & Professional Accessories Drive in support of Portland's Dress for Success in a week! More details to come soon!
