while we stayed with sam's sister down in the portland area last week we decided to make the most of our nomadic homeless situation & have a fun family day exploring the city. and every time i spend a day exploring portland? i fall in love with it a little more. that city is legit.
we started our day off by hitting up powell's books. this place is ridiculous. it's the largest new & used bookstore in the world, people. we barely scratched its surface & we were all in bookstore heaven. i think we coulda spent another five hours there but our parking was only good for one... so we made due. first we checked out the kids section {of course} and they happened to be having story time. parker payed attention for about 0.5 seconds & then was off to pull books off the shelf one at a time, plop down on the ground, carefully flip through the pages & then stick the book back on the shelf until another one caught his eye.
this kid loves books.
the thomas book came home with us & he pretty much hasn't put it down since. it's definitely his current fave.
after powell's we headed to another part of town to get our voodoo doughnuts on. if you haven't heard of voodoo doughnuts, i'm worried you might be living under a rock. you guys, they've only been on tv like 500,000 times or something. anywho, there's always a line out the door & down the street but it goes fast & it's worth it.
and you get to take fun pictures of the city & your cute baby & husband while you wait so everybody wins.
it's true, good things do come in pink boxes.
despite all the hype of the donuts with sugar cereal on them, bacon covered maple bars, or the signature voodoo-doll donut, sam & i stuck with basic maple & chocolate bars & a couple old fashioned donuts. not too shabby my friends... not too shabby.
