Voo-Doo and A Mystical Waterfall

Matt's brother, Hebe, told him that we should stop at a doughnut shop in downtown Portland on our way back through the city.  It's called Voo-Doo Doughnuts.  Josh had seen it profiled on a tv foodie show, and Chelsea had heard about it from friends at school.

Hebe said that we had to try the bacon maple bar.  Are you nuts?  Bacon doesn't belong on a doughnut!  We got there at about 12:30 on a Friday afternoon.  The line to get in was pretty long.  Thankfully it wasn't raining.  We waited for a half hour.  Before arriving, we looked on the iPhone at the menu.  Super original names for super original concoctions.  There's the Voodoo doll, the Portland Creme, Captain My Captain, The Loop, Grape Ape, Diablos Rex, Dirt Doughnut, Maple Blazer Blunt, Miami Vice Berry, etc.  There's a couple that have names I won't repeat that are a little off-colored.  Hey, if you eat a vegan diet, they have quite the selection of vegan doughnuts just for you.

We got the VooDoo Dozen which is their 13 most popular doughnuts.  And yes, the bacon maple bar is one of them.  See it there in the top of the box?  I had two bites of it, and it was surprisingly good.  It was similar to the taste of maple syrup on your bacon at breakfast.  We pieced on the doughnuts the rest of the day.  We over did it on sugar that day.  Way too much!

Remember the waterfall I said we drove past on our way to the coast?  It is called Multnomah Falls.  Gorgeous!  It was raining cats and dogs when we got there, so once again, we didn't stay very long.  We wished we could have hiked up to the bridge.  Check out these pics.

What a great way to end our Oregon adventure.
Thanks Oregon for a great week!  We forgive you for all of the rain, for that is what makes you so green and lush.  We will come back again, but maybe next time you can hold off on the rain part and show us some blue skies.
