Let the Cajun Tots rain!
McMenamins is an iconic Oregon and Washington staple famous for some of the state's first modern brewpubs, historic buildings that have been renovated into funky hotels, and a wild scavenger hunt that awards you while visiting every one of the 50+ locations!
Katie and Jordan have been to every single McMenamins location twice in pursuit of serendipity and the wondrous glamor that comes from becoming a "Cosmic Tripster"!
Jordan fell for Katie during an 80s Night dance event at their Crystal Ballroom, they were marooned in the Old St. Francis School hotel in Bend during a snowstorm, and drank too much in an active construction site for a special event in their newest location.
