7/29/18 - Portland, OR

Today we drove to the Pittock Mansion in Portland.  It sits at the top of a hill and you can see downtown Portland and Mt. Hood.  It was kind of hazy today and the view wasn’t as good as it could have been. The house was built in 1909 and has beautiful gardens with some unusual flowers.  We walked part of a nearby trail and then drove back to the Oregon Brewers Festival.  It was 100 degrees here today. The Oregon Lottery had a tent at the festival and you could drop a large disk down a peg board to try to win a prize.  I won a pass to the Oregon State Parks that is good for a year.  I also got a scratch off lottery ticket that won me $2.00.  Then we went to Cascade Brewing which specializes in barrel aged sour beers.
