portland


We woke up in Spokane, WA last Friday and made the final push towards Portland. One of the things we were looking forward to in Portland were the food trucks, and we found our first "truck" at a rest stop about 2 hours from the city.


I'm not sure why, but Steve opted to sleep in the backseat vs. listening to Sarah and I. We left him snoozing in the car and pulled over at Multnomah Falls,


an incredible waterfall along the highway.


Coming from wintry Montana, we couldn't get over how green everything was.



As we approached Portland, we got our first view of Mt. Hood in the distance.


That night, we headed across the river and hit up the "nighttime" food trucks. It didn't take long for all of us to become food truck converts--great food, for cheap.



In addition to hitting up a couple of micro brewery's, we also made our way to Voodoo Doughnut. All three of us had seen the place on TV and we patiently waited in the long line.


I decided on the Triple Chocolate Penetration (chocolate doughnut, chocolate frosting, and Cocoa Puffs) and the Bacon Maple Bar.


Let's take a closer look--mmm, bacon.


Before we hit the road to Eugene, we had to squeeze in one more trip to the food trucks.


I hit up one that was serving Indian food--for $6 I got all of this, plus nan bread.



We spent the 2 hour drive to Eugene dreaming up ways to bring food trucks to Gardiner...
