Mimi and Bubba's first night in Portland

For Mimi and Bubba's (my folks nicknames given to them by Alex and Brandon - my nephews) first night in Portland, we went to a great tapas restaurant called Toro Bravo.


We ordered tons of food, highlighted by fried sardines, asparagus and morel "bruscetta", paella and much more.


While ordering dessert, Bubba thought it would be a good idea to try a local grappa since he really enjoyed some he had at a restaurant in NY. Let's just say this decision was made after drinking most the pitcher of Sangria. Here are some pictures of their Portland grappa experience. I am just glad I was driving and did not need to help finish it :)



This night was just the beginning of their first North West experience and it only got better from here. They also enjoyed spending time with Namir and Lavi, except when Namir got out of the house and we scoured the neighborhood for almost an hour looking for him. Lavi on the other hand was happy to have some more people to love her since Matt is still away.
