Our Anniversary

Jason and I celebrated our 15th anniversary last week (time flies!). We wanted to get out of "The Couve" and go to a Portland neighborhood we had never been to. We went to the Hawthorne neighborhood with it's quirky shops and restaurants. We ate at the Waffle Window. It's exactly as the name says-a window on the side of a restaurant where you can order the most delectable waffle creations and none are over $4! The pumpkin pie waffle was sooooo good! It consisted of a yummy waffle, a slab of homemade pumpkin pie filling, whipped cream and carmel drizzle. I ordered the cheesecake waffle, but it came with no cheesecake (we didn't have time to order another one). It was still topped with FOUR kinds of fresh berries. YUM! I'm sure we'll be back.




We then headed over to the Bagdad Theater for a $3 movie. It is a theater that was built in the 1920's with a middle-eastern interior. As we were waiting in line to buy tickets, a bagpiper walked by providing pre-movie entertainment. I turned to Jason and said, "We're not at the Megaplex anymore!" Luckily the Bagpiper stopped then the movie started. About 10 minutes before the movie ended the audio stopped working and we had to guess what the characters were saying. We did get tickets for 2 free admissions for next time.
All in all, it was a very interesting and fun anniversary date!
