We walked to a nearby TriMet bus stop and boarded the 76. At Tigard Transit Center we transferred to WES and rode to Beaverton Transit Center. Then it was on to the MAX Red Line to IKEA at PDX.
It was our first time on WES - that's a nice ride!
Mom was shopping for couches at IKEA, but we had to take a break for a $.99 breakfast.
We hopped back on MAX and headed downtown for the Portland Farmers Market.
But we got distracted when we saw a concert in the park and made an impromptu stop for some noontime tunes near Lloyd Center.
We eventually made it to the market and bought fresh berries, cherries, pesto, cheese and veggies. I was too busy shopping and munching to snap a photo of our bounty.
Then it was back on MAX for the return trip to Beaverton. But since WES doesn't start again until 4, we killed time with this:
We also hit a thrift shop where Eryn scored cute pants and a top!After eating and shopping, we rode the entire WES line to Wilsonville, where we hopped a SMART bus to Brad's work.
In all, we rode on eight different vehicles of mass transit, including buses, trains and light rail, and on two different transit systems.
Looking forward to next week's outing!
Now this is an adventure Mauri and I could/should duplicate, with minor alterations, of course. My niece visited this week and we let her catch the MAX at PDX to Beaverton Transfer Center and the WES to Tualatin, where we picked her up.. Cost her two bucks!
