Weekend in Portland


A few weekends back, we spent some days in Portland PLAYING while Mark attended the Oregon State Dental Conference.  Macy just happened to have parent teacher conferences those days so it worked out perfectly for us to tag along.  We checked out OMSI and saw the awesome LEGO exhibit on display there.  AMAZING!!! 





 The next day, we met up with our good friends from dental school, the Baileys, at the Oregon Zoo.  Jessica and I spent the day there with our kids while our husbands were in meetings.  Sorry, guys!  All work and no play!  It was so fun seeing her and our kids loved having friends to run around with.











One of the best parts of the day, was riding the train! 



"Tickets every one!"



Then a quick stop at the gift shop! Mom's a sucker! Every one got stuffed animals!




Before we left Portland, we had to stop by Voodoo Donuts which was just around the corner from our hotel.  We waited in line for 45 minutes.  It was CRAZY to wait in a line like that just for donuts but it was for the experience!!! 



The selection!!! Everything from vegan cake donuts to donuts topped with Captain Crunch! 


 Macy's donut with blue & pink sprinkles. 


Mark eating Voodoo's famous Maple Bacon donut with actual strips of bacon on top.  It was seriously delicious!


Karlee chose a cake donut topped with mini M&Ms. Yum! 

And of course, I couldn't leave this picture out...

"KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD."  


...they are doing a pretty good job of it!  It's still a fun city to visit!

Love the family photo in front of the donut shop! Your family is beautiful. Gotta love those chances to get away when the hubby has meetings. :)
