Yours truly, outside the Bob’s Red Mill Store

I feel like I won the golden ticket.

The itinerary, thoughtfully arranged by Travel Oregon, was packed with highlights (many of which my fellow attendees have already written about). Although the trip was complimentary and I received no financial compensation, the organizers made it effortless to relax and enjoy every moment.

I arrived in Portland a little early, checked into the delightful Hotel deLuxe, and took a cab to Milwaukie to visit Bob’s Red Mill.
