Over Memorial Day we could have gone on a camping trip with friends, but Gabriel and I opted out of that invitation for one just a little more appealing – a spontaneous getaway to the city of Portland with our new college graduate, Ashley. I can still be spontaneous, as long as I have a little time to plan!
Ashley’s goal was to visit her dream store – Powell’s Books, that boasts an inventory of a million books housed in a store that covers one city block. Yes, that smile on her face is real!
Of course, to insure that she spent as much time as she liked at this new hot spot, Ashley made certain that our hotel was right around the corner. She did a superb job, as she found the most pet-friendly place I’ve ever visited: The Mark Spencer Hotel. Not just pet-friendly, they had entire suites set aside for guests traveling with their four-legged friends. Madeline was given the special treatment as well, as shown on the visitor board at the front desk. We were welcomed in style and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!
Madeline loved the view from our hotel room.
Thankfully the time we were there was beautiful and dry…
Blessings!
