I love you Portland forever. . . final.

Following the shoot Eleanor, Sheryl and I made our way to Paley's Place for dinner. Check it out yourself: http://www.paleysplace.net/. We wanted to find a unique Portland restaurant and we found THE ONE. All of their food comes from local sustainable farming. The dining room even features beautiful black and white photographs of their farmers. My butternut squash and pear soup smacked of AUTUMN. Ahhhhh. So taken were we with Paley's Place that we all purchased their cookbook hot off the presses. I spent a wistful night in my room at the Nines and alas, the time to fly home arrived.

I loved my Frontier airline experience. Cool wing art over the Denver mountains.

Sheryl and I shared the first leg of our trip (to Denver) with Crystal and Jessica.
