WHERE TO REST YOUR HEAD

Portland, Ore., may be locat-

ed 1 hours east of the coast

and the same distance west from

the ski resorts, but this City of

Roses is a destination all its own

with a music scene thats just

as independent. MusicFestNW is

one festival you and your family

cant miss if youre around Port-

land Sep 711. Concerts run all

afternoon and evening and range

from kid-friendly to 21-and-over,

so make sure to check the website

for details before heading out.

Bands include Band of Horses,

Iron & Wine, the Portland Cello

Project, and more! (Note: While

youre in the city, make sure to

visit the fountains at the Portland

Saturday Market and allot some

time for the abnormally-cool-

and-super-interactive Portland

Childrens Museum.)

Not only is the McMenamins

Kennedy School a MusicFestNW

venue, its also a hotel with more

than 35 guestrooms. This isnt

your average hotel though; its

been renovated/converted from

a 1915 schoolhouse to include

a hotel, concert venue, brewery,

restaurant, movie theater and

more. Kids will love falling asleep

in a classroom after catching

a $3 movie. The theater serves

food and drinks (order tots with

ranch to eat like a local!) while

moviegoers lounge on comfy

sofas. The brewery is top notch as

well try the Hammerhead, you

wont regret it!

WHERE TO EAT

Looking to dine with the

locals? Head to Le Bistro Mon-

tage. Referred to as simply The

Montage, this quirky Cajun res-taurant features funky dcor and

decadent twists on simple dishes

(try the Spicy Mac with Andouille

Sausage). Crafty waiters will wrap

any leftovers inside tin foil crea-

ture creations! Or for a quick bite

out, try the Grilled Cheese Grille,

a restaurant inside a converted

school bus specializing in gourmet

grilled cheese sandwiches.
