Welcome to another weekend reads everyone! How are you doing? I feel like cabin fever has set in a bit over the last two weeks for me. But that is not to say that I plan on going anywhere soon.
Things are starting to slowly open up here in Oregon. Smaller counties around the state are entering the first phase of re-opening, which means restaurants, bars, retail stores, and salons can begin having people. However, Multnomah county where Portland is hasn’t submitted plans to lift the stay at home orders quite yet.
While I feel restless being cooped up in a small apartment, I don’t think I’ll feel a need to go to a restaurant or bar when things do open up. I’ll be in the camp of people that proceeds a little more cautiously when it comes to interacting with others.
That means I’ll be taking part in more things like this: a drive-thru booze pick-up at Freeland Spirits in Portland. They are offering a ton of different cocktail kits WITH alcohol that you can pre-order online, drive by and pick up. We tried the Love Below.
Check out our adventure here.
