#44. Try 25 New Restaurants in Portland, OR

I have to back up a little bit... before we went to Las Vegas and drove a convertible down the strip, I met up with my girl Kelsey for a trip to the Portland Home & Garden show and a Meet & Greet with John and Sherry from Young House Love.

Since I began blogging myself, I've gotten into reading other blogs on a regular basis and Young House Love is one that Kelsey introduced me to, which I read ALL the time because John and Sherry are hilarious, and helpful and fun! And Burger and Clara are pretty cute too.

So you can imagine how excited I was when I heard that John and Sherry were going to be special guests at the Portland Home & Garden show with a Meet & Greet and everything!  It was so cool to meet some real life blog world celebrities, especially since they are soon to be published authors.




After the Meet & Greet, we were starved and decided to grab some dinner.  We went to BJ Willy's in Jantzen Beach, where I'd never been before. Not only did it give me a chance to try a new place, but it was a great time to catch up with Kelsey. We'd both had rough days and a mid-week Girls' Night was just what we needed.

  2. Amy, they were SO awesome! They were EXACTLY how they appear on their blog. Very down to earth and fun. We only had a few minutes with them, but they were so attentive and appreciative of their fans. It was such a cool experience.
