Downtown Lake Oswego offers many fun activities! From fun boutique shops to good restaurants! Fun fact we had our first date at Holy Taco in downtown Lake Oswego! It is just a great place to walk around and on Saturdays, they even have an AMAZING farmers market.

Bridgeport is a fun outdoor mall that offers a range of stores. They also have a great burger shack called Joe's Burgers that has great burgers! Enjoy!

Max and I had our second date at the movie theater in Bridgeport when Oregon was 115 degrees in 2021!

Lola's Cafe has the best coffee closest to West Linn. They also offer a sit-down option for more food.

"Breakfast-to-dinner spot for healthy food and drinks and vegan and gluten-free options, plus a patio."

10/10 Coffee YUM!

If you are looking for a classic Portland experience, head to Hawthorne Street! They offer Powell Bookstore (a famous Portland bookshop) and lots of thrifting spots. They also have a yummy acai bowl place called Moberi!

Also 2nd Street Vintage has a ton of cute clothes.

Disclaimer- This is not the huge Powells bookstore that is located downtown - 2720 NW 29th Ave, Portland, OR 97210

This place has the best pizza ever! Can't stress that enough.

This place opens at 5 and is insanely busy though. I would recommend that you get there at 4-4:20 to get a good spot in line.

We loved the Brooklyn pizza. It might be a little spicy for some, but one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten.

The Columbia River Gorge is a beautiful place that is about 40 minutes east of Portland. It includes the famous Multnomah Falls. If you are looking for amazing hikes, this is the place to go. They have a ton of amazing hikes, including one Max and I loved called Angels Rest. Would 10/10 recommend that hike, it is so worth the breathtaking panoramic views of the Gorge!

On the way out of the Gorge is a really cute drive-in restaurant called Suagrpine Drive-in. We have gone there with our families and it has yummy food. It also has great ice cream.

If you are looking to try an assortment of foods I would recommend the Oregon City Food Trucks. It has a lot of fun options and a nice sit down to hang out.

Right near it, there is a restaurant called OC Taco which is also very good if you are craving Mexican.
