Today was my husband’s birthday and, despite being an “old man”, he is still pretty cool.

We decided to go on an impromptu food adventure around Portland to celebrate.

First stop, Metro Perc for some Stumptown coffee…

The little guy specifically told me that he wanted to go to the “apple farm” (Oregon Heritage Farm) to buy his Poppa an apple for his birthday.  So, that was our next stop…

The little guy even used his own money to buy the apple for his Poppa…

Recently, Portland was voted to have the best food carts in the world…yes, WORLD!  We decided to check some of them out.  It was a hard choice to make because there are so many to choose from, but we chose Cartopia which is located at SE 12th and Hawthorne…

We ordered the Margherita Pizza from Pyro Pizza…

a turkey, cream cheese and avocado crepe from Perierra Creperie…

a shrimp Po’Boy from Bubba Bernies…

and some fries from Potato Champion…

The entire family enjoyed the food and the atmosphere…

My husband called the pizza from Pyro Pizza the best pizza he has had in Portland since we moved here almost 5 years ago.

We also ordered a last minute pie from Whiffies, but it was inhaled before I could take a photo of it!

Since we were in SE, we “needed” to stop by the HUB (Hopworks Urban Brewery…see my earlier post about it) for a growler to bring home for later…

We made it home in time for the kiddos to take naps and still have the rest of the day to celebrate!

Home is…an impromptu food adventure to celebrate the “old man’s” birthday.
