Jared and Jacob go to Portland

For Jacob's 16th birthday, we gave him tickets to the BYU Oregon game in Autzen Stadium. Which, of course, meant that Jared went too. We took a 4 day weekend and fit in as many things as possible!

Jacob wrote about the trip in his classic abbreviated style.
Flying to Oregon

Trail run with dad at Mirror lake. (Jacob won't say it - but dad more than held his own, beating Jacob up the trail!)
Trail got super narrow
Mirror Lake run with dad
Mount Hood on our way to Wilsonville
 MEGA ICE CREAM! (This was only a medium)
 
Multnomah Falls


BYU vs Oregon with the Shaffers

...unfortunately it didn't go very well


Jared stopped by Ted Jeffries house - we served in a bishopric together years ago.

Hanging out with the Schaffers before we had to leave

Last meal in Oregon, it was a good one.
Waiting for one of these in Cincinnati

Food was, of course, an important part of the trip. We went to as many of our favorite places as we could fit in just a couple days:

On the way out, we had a layover at SLC, which meant Cafe Rio.

Pork Belly Mac and Cheese at Grassa (there's a Grassa in Lake Oswego now!)

We had the calamari and cauliflower at Aji Tram. Jacob said that almost every bite, he thought it was going to be wings again and was surprised it was cauliflower.

As Jacob called it, "Dad's good friend, the Reggie Deluxe!!!" But seriously... I've missed you, Reggie!


Salt & Straw before leaving - also waiting for one of these in Cincinnati!
