Aubrey's 16th birthday Girl's Trip to Portland

The end of March I took these two beautiful girls to stay overnight at a lovely boutique hotel in Portland to celebrate Aubrey's 16th birthday! The historic hotel is decorated with pictures and mementos from Hollywood's classic movies. It was a perfect place to take these two vintage-loving girls!

 The hotel had put a birthday card for Aubrey in the room

 And gave us bottles of sparkling water and beauty face masks.

 We dolled ourselves up for a night on the town

 And walked a mile to 23rd Avenue to window shop and get some treats. We got gourmet pizza for dinner, a few cupcakes to share, Salt n Straw ice cream, and Bluestar donuts. Because why not, we were in celebration mode!  Then we walked back to the hotel. 

 We took some pictures of the interior of the hotel.  Below right, the still functioning mail chute which carries notes from upper floors to the lobby.

Re-creating some of the pictures of classic moments from films.

Then we did our face masks and the girls practiced their relaxed falling onto the bed. True bliss! We watched "You've Got Mail" before falling asleep in the comfy beds.

 In the morning we walked over to a cute bakery we had seen the night before. We enjoyed a variety of pastries for breakfast. Then we checked out and drove to the Saturday Market along the waterfront.

It was a gorgeous spring day! We loved looking at the booths and buying some lunch and homemade caramels. Then we took a few pictures before heading back home to reality.
