Hands down the most exciting thing we did (and probably one of the most exciting things that's happened to us in Portland so far) is win a Lego contest at a bar. We were given 75 minutes, the theme of "music" and free reign over a large collection of legos. Our friends Maya and Jordan also joined us, which was helpful since Jordan is a musician and tuned some water glasses as part of our creation. Maya and Megan built a "stage" in front of the water glasses while the boys built swinging pieces to strike the notes of the water glasses and play Hot Cross Buns. Our prize was a random assortment of gift cards totaling $55.
We also took Rob to brunch below our apartment at Slappy Cakes, after Tyler's grandmother saw the restaurant featured on Food Network (http://www.foodnetwork.com/restaurants/or/portland/slappy-cakes.html) They have griddles in the table to cook your own pancakes and many batter flavor choices, like peanutbutter or chocolate.
Lastly, we spent a rainy Saturday afternoon brewery-hopping:
1. Basecamp (camping-themed brewery)
2. Hair of the Dog (with an option for a $1500 glass of beer on their menu)
3. Cascade Barrel (specializing in sour beers)
4. Buckman Brewery (actually just a bar)
5. Some dive bar none of us probably remember the name of after all those beers.
