As car people, it’s always interesting to see the popular vehicles in each city we visit. Portland was full of off-roading vehicles with roof boxes/baskets/tents. We had a rental Ford Bronco Sport and thought we would fit right in since there are so many in Minneapolis, but ended up being one of the only ones in the area.

Portland reminded me so much of Minneapolis, except with more rain! I’m glad we were finally able to visit, especially after seeing Seattle a few years ago. We can’t wait for our next travel destination!
