Voo Doo Doughnuts

While traveling in and around Portland, OR this past weekend we had the pleasure to experience Voo Doo Doughnut. My wife discovered this place via the Food Network. So, we just had to go. I have to tell it they were probably the best doughnuts I have ever had. We stood in line for about 30-40 minutes but they it was well worth the wait. It just happened to be National Doughnut day when we visited, so I’m sure that added to the masses. However, I’m told that the lines are pretty long no matter what day you visit. The shop has a good variety of doughnuts to choose from the classic to some really crazy ones.  They even have Vegan Doughnuts!!! So, if you are ever in the Portland area, Voo doo must be on your to do list.

Traveling to PDX

Today our little family will be traveling to the Portland, OR and than to Vancouver, WA for the weekend. We will be visiting one of my wife’s cousins and her family. They will be taking us to the Oregon coast one day, and I’m sure we will also check out Multnomah Falls. However, I’m looking for some suggestions on where I can take some cool Photos. If you have any knowledge of the area and can help that would be awesome.
