After all the bridal showers, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners and wedding days, she snuck off to her annual family vacation in Bend, OR. While in Bend, her family hiked Steelhead falls, played cornhole and tested out new breweries, when they weren’t hanging out by the pool! The number of tacos consumed at the breweries inspired her to start a tradition for every Tuesday. She now plans to visit a different taco spot in the Portland Area every taco Tuesday in search for the best taco in town. Have any recommendations? Let her know at your next appointment!
