Portland in Pictures

Well folks, there you have it. Our trip in a nutshell. Kandee went to town with my camera. A budding photographer if I do say so myself. Boy did we do a lot one in one week. We spent most of our time exploring darling shops and restaurants in the Pearl District. We almost moved there, but decided to come home for Klifford's sake (just kidding, Tad). We also visited the Portland Japanese Garden and the International Rose Test Garden. I renamed it the secret garden. It was kind of perfect. The City stole my heart. I told Tad I wouldn't mind at all if he applied for a few jobs there. I'm also sure Kandee will have set up shop in Oregon by next year.

P.S. See that Portland Oregon Old Town sign? You probably don't because it might be the worst picture ever, but I was so excited to see it. If you only knew what I did to get that picture. Went a little crazy. We're talking knocked Kandee out of the cab kind of crazy. The best part is I didn't even get a great picture of it, and I took around 25. Bless our cab driver. It made for a good laugh later. You know the make your stomach hurt kind of laugh. You're welcome, sister.

In case you missed our Portland adventure to Voodoo Doughnut, you can check it out here. We will be back to this City, but not soon enough!

A Voodoo Doughnut Breakfast

Kandee and I have been daydreaming about Voodoo Doughnut for years now (not exaggerating). On the last day of our trip we asked each other what the highlight of Portland was. It was a no-brainer, really. Finally sinking our teeth into one of these delicious donuts. Sweet chalice of conquest! Looking at these pictures make my mouth water all over again.

We walked almost two miles from our hotel for this little breakfast. When we arrived we couldn't even believe we were there. Such nerds I know. Did I mention there wasn't even a line? It was too good to be true. After we ordered, we sat outside and took it all in. Thanks to the employees for letting me photograph the goods inside. No shame in the game when it comes to documenting these amazing moments.

Don't even get me started on the "Captain my Captain" donut with vanilla frosting and Captain Crunch. If I lived in Portland, I would eat that thing every morning for breakfast. Self-control, see ya later.

A Quick Hello From Portland

Kandee and I have been having the time of our lives in Portland, Oregon this week. I had the opportunity to visit and Kandee tagged along. So very glad she did. I'm a huge fan of that little lady. We've been going on all kinds of adventures. The picture above was taken at the beautiful Washington Park. Oh and it hasn't rained once since we've been here. Can you believe it? Portland, we'd like to take your weather back with us if that's alright. I'll be back on Texas soil this weekend. I'm ready. Missing that husband of mine. More pictures to come soon!
