Weekend Portland Trip

A few weekends ago we took a little weekend trip to Portland. We have driven through there but never spent any time seeing what Portland had to offer. It was an interesting weekend.


We went to the Museum of Science and Industry-it was a great museum, we just wish we had a little more time to see everything there.


We went on a tour of the submarine-that was pretty cool.

George and Jenna in command of the submarine.



One of the things on our to do list in Portland was to go to VooDoo Donuts. We saw it on the Food Channel and we love donuts so it was a must see. The variety of donuts they offered was quite amazing. George decided we needed to get 16 different donuts (for just the 4 of us!). We tried all different kinds-donuts dipped in coco puffs, fruit loops, fun dip (yes that was actually pretty good)-just to name a few of them.



But I think Jake's donut was the funnest-his was the VooDoo doll donut-filled with red cream and stuck in the chest with a pretzel.

Picture of some of the donuts that were still left. Eating all these donuts did make me sick of donuts for a few days-I would never have thought that was possible.


I think this sign sums up Portland perfectly. There were some weird people and things. Even Jake commented to me that Portland was weird and then we saw this sign in the parking lot we parked in. We had a good trip but I don't think we will be going back to Portland any time soon.
