There is a 40% chance of rain this Saturday with temp hovering between 43F to 50F so there is a chance this might be called off.
Interests: Garden, Nature, Walking, Good Food, Downtown Exploration (Arts, Portland Weird, Architecture). Only cost $20 for lunch and dinner (if dinner applies here).
Hoyt Arboretum: 9.00am to 1.00pm
Which opens from 10am to 3pm. Self guided 4 miles walk (~6.4km). Plants and trees include conifer collection, wedding meadow, sequoia collection, bamboo collection, ginkgo collection, larch collection, witch hazel collection, dogwood collection, maple collection, magnolia collection, winter garden and oak collection. We should stop by Vietnam Memorial grounds and have a look since it is located at the dogwood collection trail.
Alternatively we can go to Portland Wildlife Sanctuary (wild birds and amphibians) which is slightly longer @ 4.5miles: http://audubonportland.org/sanctuaries/visiting/trailmap/trailmap
Silk by Pho Van:1.30pm-2.30pm
Lunch time of the restaurant is 11am to 3pm. Oregon's best Vietnamese restaurant. Well known for banana blossom salad, clay pot catfish, beef noodle soup and mango daiquiri. $9-12. http://www.silkbyphovan.com/
Pearl District: 3.00pm-6.00pm
No specifics. I had my 1st US team building in this area and it was intriguing. The random art all over the place, unique buildings, window shopping for fun. And this time I would want to bring my camera! http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g52024-d146839-Reviews-Pearl_District-Portland_Oregon.html
After 6.00pm-9.00pm
Take my Camry for maintenance over at the airport if time and strength permits. Dinner uncertain, if eating out I suggest Alberta Street for some Burger in the Bus. $5-$8. http://www.yelp.com/biz/burgers-or-bust-cafe-portland I might want to go to Fubonn too. If too tired will just skip both and go myself on Sunday.
