Skull, Labbit and Domo made their way to the beautiful Cannon Beach and into Portland. It was overcast at the beach but quite warm and comfortable. Of course lugging a camera bag down the beach helps keep you warm. One thing we noticed was the beach just goes on and on…and on. Afterwards we did the 2 hour drive to Portland where we checked into our hotel and grabbed some dinner. We went to Silk restaurant for some vietnamese food in the Pearl district of downtown Portland. The prices were quite reasonable as it was an upscale vietnamese restaurant and the portions were good. Afterwards we went to Voodoo Doughnut to try one of their out of the ordinary pastries. The trio decided on the Diablos Rex and later performed a bowing ritual to appease the doughnut overlords.
We also checked out Powell’s Books. You want to talk massive bookstores? This downtown location has over 1 million books! It was a huge store! We also checked out Ground Kontrol classic arcade. This place has a bar and classic arcade games. It was Rock Band night where this band were playing..umm Rock Band…and they were goood. My cousin Jessie and I were ID’d at the door and I was informed that they were no longer accepting Canadian drivers licenses as ID and that next time I visit I would have to bring my passport. They let me in though since I didn’t know. Strange because I turn 35 this year and I’m pretty sure I don’t look like I’m under 21! So Canadian visitors just be aware. I being Asian, I of course played Street Fighter. Its in my blood what can I say?

So it had to be replaced. They finally made their way to Astoria where they had a lovely lunch at the Bridgewater Bistro. From there they proceeded to Cannon Beach. Photos of that will come tomorrow.

Today Domo and Skull left Vancouver at 7:30am for their road trip to Portland, Oregon. They were lucky enough to make a new friend in the town of Port Townsend. Labbit! They enjoyed the winding twisty roads along the coast of Highway 101 in their Zoom Zoom mobile. Tonight they are resting in a creepy hotel in a small town. Domo will protect us all tonight. Tomorrow we head to Portland for more adventures!
Always buckle up before a road trip!
I haven’t been shooting much lately and I’ve pretty much fallen behind on post processing photos. Here’s some older photos I’ve taken.

I apologize for the lack of updates, hopefully this will make up for it. Last week I took a short trip to Seattle to take in the sights for the weekend. If you love architecture and design, you’ll need to take a stroll through Seattle’s Central Library located downtown. This beautiful structure houses an incredible selection of books and materials and should be on your list of places to visit.
