What to do in Portland along with Free Enterprise Days

Amway WWDB is holding Free Enterprise Days in Portland Oregon October 12 to 14 2012.

I’m just copying and pasting from previous blogs I posted about Family Reunion.

Sorry Portland! I think I already covered what I deem to be your highlights before!

I read an article about the top 10 cities for foodies and surprisingly enough to me Portland Oregon was on the list.

Super-green Portland has earned a reputation for its farm-to-table dining, well-crafted microbrews, and 200-odd food trucks. To get a sampling of the most popular — including Namu, excellent Korean-Hawaiian fusion — check out the food truck “pods” at Pioneer Courthouse Square or at SE Hawthorne and 12th Avenue. And don’t be fooled by the notion that these Oregonians are totally health-conscious: another culinary must-stop is Voodoo Doughnuts for its bacon-topped maple bar and the breakfast-cereal-crusted “Captain My Captain.”

Did that article just say Voodoo Doughnuts! Sounds like my kind of place! A little Google search and I found the web page.http://voodoodoughnut.com/index.php

Over 90 different donuts! I want one of those Amway doll donuts! I get a lot of very strange searchers finding their way to Anna Banana’s blog. Maybe because these searchers aren’t building their Amway businesses properly and they feel like they’re never home!? Voodoo Doughnuts can help those who need Amway more than they realise. I recommend the donut creation Board-N-Plan. I would have liked to copy and paste some of their images here but they’ve got some code in their web page that prevents me from copying their donut pictures.

A Google search tells me that Portland has a lot of museums and Oriental inspired gardens and parks. Not really my thing but something to bear in mind if you are faced with a choice between going to an Amway WWDB function or a museum. It will be a tough choice but if I did I’d go to the The Hat Museum. Admission is $15, not bad and in reality a lot more expensive than listening to some great bunch of Diamonds praising their IBO’s.

The last time I did a post like this someone who must have been there added into comments to visit the Pittock Mansion. Admission is $8.50 for adults and slightly less for other age groups. http://pittockmansion.org/

No one will want to miss the Church of Elvis. It’s in the store window of a shop in Chinatown. Has a coin operated movie that you can plug from the sidewalk. So I’d call it nearly free. It might be a slight distraction for the people attending Family Reunion who will be up and about pretty much 24 hours a day. There are some other really great techniques you can learn if you suffer from sleep deprivation. I’d really like to hear what the Church of Elvis movie has to say at 2 in the morning but in truth I should say stick with the Platinum!

House Spirits Distillery tour and tasting. Yummy! Have to be 21. There is a fee for tasting but if you buy a bottle it will be waived. This will make a nice gift for one of your Amway IBO’s! if you like!

Widmer Brothers Brewing Free tour. Free beer. Need I say more?

The Oregon Zoo Adult admission is $10.50 for adults. A little cheaper for other age groups. It’ll be fun to visit the bear exhibit and better if you could share it with your upline!
