Portland for the long weekend - any suggestions?

Other than Ground Kontrol, which is a must...
I've been told the breweries are great there, and I should also check out the Voodoo Doughnut shop.
Any other suggestions on what's good in Portland? I'm only driving down for the long weekend.

Multinomah Falls, if you're the outdoorsy type!

The main store (Voodoo) on 3rd is closed for renovations, so you'll miss out on that.
For breweries, might check out Pyramid, good food, decent beer. Also Bridgeport, Widmer, or any of the other umpteen breweries. Many of the McMenamins are pretty cool if you are into historic buildings and eclectic decor.
If you are into hiking, then Forest Park, Multinomah Falls (as suggested, and great sight even if not hiking).
Powells books on Burnside is a great book store (and near GroundKontrol).
If you are bringing kids, then you might want to check out OMSI, Oaks Amusement Park, or the Portland Children's Museum next to the Zoo.
I guess it really depends on what you are into or who you are with.

Thanks for the suggestions so far! As well as the info on Voodoo.
My wife and I are going with a few friends, we all don't have kids.
We like drinking at divey/comfy bars (real city culture there), enjoy seeing touristy sites, love to eat all kinds of food (looking for those small hole-in-the-wall gems). I'm not sure we'll have time for a hike, but I'll post it to the crew and see if there's any interest.
We'd also like to find some decent shopping spots, outlets, etc.
The Canadian dollar is doing really good right now and Oregon has no sales tax...so we're looking to bring back some stuff!
Some friends of mine suggest:
- Mississippi district boutique shopping
- Signature Room for fancy drinks and view of city
- One or Two of the many Breweries
Any more suggestions are welcome!

Shopping:
Outlet Mall in Troutdale (east of Portland and on the way to Multnomah Falls)
Woodburn Outlet mall - big outlet mall (South of Portland about 30-40 min drive on I-5)
NW 23rd for the "upscale" shops and some great resturants.
Bridgeport Village off of I-5 in Tigard
Pioneer Place downtown Portland
