The World of Speed Museum was a blast! It’s a car racing history museum that we heard about through a vlogger we watch regularly. (In fact a number of awesome activities that we’ve experienced in our travels have been on the recommendations of vloggers.) Jackson loves cars and racing, so stopping here was a no-brainer. He raced in a NASCAR simulation and did really well, and he also tried out the role of mechanic in a really fantastic STEM mechanical area for kids.

We only spent a few hours in Portland, Oregon, but we had a good time there. We rode the aerial tram cable car, ate at Little Big Burger where they serve realistic-portion-sized burgers with big flavor, and strolled about a city park for a bit. We noticed that Portland is very bike friendly, with generous bike lanes and accessibility.
