portland!


our weekend trip to portland was a whirlwind adventure! but... i'm pretty sure i found my wedding dress, which is good because our wedding is this september {don't worry, i'll post about the dresses later}. eee! i know.


we also got to explore different parts of the city on our search for wedding clothes and hang out with our oregon friends. ...and of course we stopped at voodoo donuts. i can't remember where i first heard of them, but they're famous for super bizarre-o flavors and toppings {like cereal}.


oreo donut - bigger than my friend christina's hand {so amazing!}

i got the vanilla cake donut with lemon frosting, tea powder, and a rogue fruit loop.
yup, i wish it was a longer trip {portland is a very cool city} but at least we got to see it for a day. and the drive there, while long, was full of gorgeous scenery like mt. shasta.


now i have to somehow manage to focus at work and school this week... i'm not sure how that's going to happen. :)

hope your weekend was adventurous/relaxing!

  10. yay for wedding dresses! scott and i saw voodoo donuts on a travel channel food show and it kind of seems worth a cross country trip for some donuts alone.
