They serve great Thai food. Some of our favorites are the Rock&Roll salad rolls (with yummy peanut sauce), lemongrass chicken and taro bubble tea. Jamie is so fond of the salad rolls she insists on having an order to herself.
The afternoon was spent touring the Japanese Garden. It is so beautiful and peaceful there you want to just slow down and take it all in. When Jamie brought her brother Daniel to Portland we took him there too.
In the early spring the garden is more about structure and form because most of the flowers haven't bloomed yet and the maples haven't leafed out. Still there is lots of water features and great buildings, cool paths and walkways and many different pagodas.
Check out their web site for pictures of the garden in all four seasons.

Again we took tons of photos and it was hard to capture all of it in just 4 pages. The first 2 pages are shown here.
After the leaving the garden we took Jessica to the trendy Pearl District where she was able to visit Powell's Book store (largest West of the Mississippi) and have gelato at Jamie's favorite place, Mio Gelato.
Patty taught school all day but was home waiting for us when we got there. We took the girls to Gustav's Bier Stube for Happy Hour. Jamie has been wanting to go there for a year now because we are always raving about the inexpensive and tasty food they have.
We ate their famous swiss cheese fondue and things like Shephard's pie, chicken schnitzels and ceaser salad.
This trip is quickly turning into a whirlwind of Jamie's "must see" attractions and "must try" eateries.
