Goin' places that I've never been, Seein' things that I may never see again, And I can't wait to get on the road again.

She Said:  McMenamins is an Oregon institution.  Listed as one of the top 50 largest craft breweries in the United States, over 60 brewpubs, microbreweries, historic hotels, theater pubs that make up this McMenamin empire.  It is amazing to see how they take over old buildings and restore them in to works of art.  On Saturday before the wedding a group of us went to eat at the Black Rabbit, one of the restaurants on the Edgefield property in Troutdale.   After lunch we walked the grounds to see the distillery, golf course, gardens, and there was a line of Willie Nelson fans waiting for the concert later on that evening.



This place is a sight to see, and I am excited on future trips to Oregon to explore more locations.  I must say the food at Black Rabbit was sub par.  My risotto was bland.  I should know better then to order a dish that G makes, setting the bar way too high.  Usually I am a strict Corona Light drinker, and I rarely experiment with beers, but at lunch had the ale light Ruby.  This beer was refreshing, and processed with raspberry puree to give it just the right fruity kick.  A new favorite.  We did check out Edgefield’s wine tasting room.  This was the first time G and I had ever done wine tasting with my mom and she was a good sport and dived right in.



On our way out I was taken back by all the small details.  Every traffic sign is hand painted, murals cover the walls, and the labels of beer and wine are artfully designed.  I am blown away by the thought and creativity around every corner at Edgefield.

    Love McMenamins! I miss microbrews. I've heard the Edgefield "complex" is the best of the McMenamins joints. Bend, OR also has a fun McMenamins pub and hotel.

    There's no doubt that there are some deep-digging programs out there that can be purchased unfortunately I find many of them using up a great deal of time to obtain real good keywords with regard to interesting markets. Shouldn?t most of us much better count on something more efficient?

    Hello Webmaster, I noticed that http://www.shesaidgsaid.com/?p=92 is ranking pretty low for some keywords, this may be due to the new Google Panda update, or it could be due to a variety of other factors. I'm sure you already know about On-page SEO, where Google cares highly about proper formatting of various H1/H2/H3 tags, having your main keyword appear in the beginning of your post and having your post end with the keyword, along with having keyword related alt tags and very relevant LSI. However, you do not seem to have the proper Keywords or relevant Keywords in your posts and in the website. Right now you need a tool or plugin that will allow you to check on Keyword insights, search trends and check for backlink analysis and to find out your Keyword competition. To find a Keyword Plugin that combines both Keyword Research and has the ability as a Rank Checker is what Wordpress Seo Keyword, please check out our 5 minute video.

    Before money the usual way of getting what you wanted was to trade goods for goods. This can be quite cumbersome, for example, trading 10 dozen eggs for 25 loaves of bread. Who wants to carry around that many eggs? It is very inconvenient.
