Portland

Now we had the whole day to do whatever we wanted. No schedule, no specific place to be, and just time together. So, exploring we a went.

Our first stop, by the recommendation of Michelle, was the "Byways Cafe" in downtown. It was featured on "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives" a while ago, so we had to check it out. (You can see the video on it here - YouTube). 

It's just this little dinky cafe in the middle of downtown. If you don't know where you are going you will be very lucky in deed to even see it. We got there about 11:30 a.m. and there was a line waiting to get in. It's so small that everyone waiting is standing outside. After about 20 minutes we were seated. It is almost like a curiosity shop inside with all the nick-knacks inside. The people were ultra friendly and food was pretty decent..... not as good as Cheyenne Cafe in Joseph Oregon, but still decent.

Next stop - the famous Voodoo Doughnuts. The line here was long as well - all to get a doughnut. It was worth it though. What a fun little shop!! I love supporting the local little guy, and this place had more character than Robin Williams! Loved-it!

Can't go to Voodoo Doughnuts and NOT get a Voodoo Doughnut

Awesome!!!

 

With all of those calories weighing us down now, we headed off for a hike. We have driven my Multnomah Falls a couple of times, but have never stopped. Now was as good a time as ever. Wish we would have brought better hiking clothes, cause those trails go on forever up there! Very beautiful, and if you love waterfalls this is your place. There is an amazing one around every turn.
