OCTOBER VACATION - DAY ONE - Portland (Sept. 28, 2007)
We didn’t get out of town very early on Friday and it was totally my fault. I just couldn’t seem to get all the little things done before the trip that I wanted to get done. We finally pulled out of town about 1:30 PM and arrived in Portland about 5:30 PM. We had reservations at the McMenamins Kennedy School. This is a elementary school that has been converted to a hotel and is extremely cool.

So about the McMenamins Kennedy School, loved it. It is a converted Elementary School in Portland, Oregon. There are a number of unique McMenamins hotels in Oregon and Washington. In fact, the seven hotels available can be found on their web site at www.mcmenamins.com .

Our room was the Thumbelina room, it was one half of an original classroom. The other half was the Mr. Toad room. I have a couple movies on the room at the below links...
