Jill was so nice to give us a tour of the University of Oregon campus. It was very pretty and not the direct route we could have taken to the gas station, but I digress. As we are headed down one of the streets, I notice the EAE house and the DG house and then....the holy grail....the Kappa Delta house!!!! I was so excited to see my sorority house on the U of O campus. And I have to say it is the prettiest house there! It's so amazing that I had to get out and take a picture of it!
After taking this wonderful detour...thanks Jill...we found the gas station and got on our way to Seattle. It was so clear and sunny that we could see Mount Hood.
I was hoping this was a good sign and that when we got to Washington I would actually be able to see Mount Rainier. Mt. Rainier doesn't like me. I have seen it only twice in the 8 years I have been coming up here. But I am determined to get a good picture of it someday!
Before we headed to Seattle we made a stop in Portland. Why stop in Portland? Because of Voodoo Doughnut. We first heard about Voodoo Doughnut on the Food Network several months back. And we decided to make sure we saw it on the way up to Seattle this year. And man was it worth the stop!!!
The inside is small but amazing!
And Robert was so excited to be there because he had looked forward to this stop for about 6 months!
So now we are here....what donuts are we going to select. And wow! What a selection!
With so many choices what did we end up getting? Only six. The classic glazed doughnut which was the best one I had ever had in my life! I got two of them!
The Grape Ape. Sounds weird but soooooo good! It tastes like candy for childhood.
The Mango Tango which has icing that is mango and then mango filling. Very, very sweet.
The Cinnamon, a chocolate cake doughnut with cinnamon spice. Wow what a kick!
And then the grand-daddy of them all! The Bacon Maple Bar. Topped with two strips of crispy bacon and a maple glazed frosting. It was so heavy and filling that I don't think we will eat for a week...or at least until Thanksgiving.
After our delicious stop in Portland, we headed to Seattle. Along the way we saw this beautiful church.
And a huge military plane.
Logan wasn't impressed and even though we told him we would be there soon, didn't seem to believe us.
We finally arrived in Seattle and of course no Mt. Rainier for me to take a picture of...or even look at. Why you ask....becuase it wasn't there. As usual it was hiding in the clouds. And I am starting to believe that the mountain doesn't really exist. ;-) But I will keep my eye out while I'm up here and with a little luck....and no rain....maybe I'll get to see it!
