Brother Sister Adventure 2011

I really had my heart set on getting some VooDoo Doughnuts while in Portland. After spending the morning at the Portland Childrens Museum I talked Clint and Dana into helping me get to VooDoo doghnuts. We got separated from Clint, got lost, found out that the one we drove to was closed down, finally found the one that was open, couldn't find a parking space to park the big beast of a truck (sorry Dana), saw the enormous line up down the street and then had to listen to mom yelling in the back seat "this is stupid, its just a donut", "there are freaks everywhere", "boys behave because Nana is really frazzled and I'm gonna lose it". Needless to say we left without donuts but I had a plan. After lunch I talked Clint into taking me back. Dana came along and Scott called saying he was in a Portland on a layover so we picked him up on our way. This is where the real adventure begins (brother sister adventure LOL) Clint got lost finding Scotts hotel. After picking Scott up he drove for 30 mins in the wrong direction, then missed our exit twice. Scott didn't have any faith that we would ever get a doughnut but we made it!!.

Then the boys saw this line. Dana and I thought it was funny and had no problem waiting in the line so we tried sending the boys off to explore the city.

Are these bricks not the coolest? I get excited over the littlest things.

Before they left to explore, this fun fellow made a beeline straight for Scott. Clint got the first hug but Scott got the big manly hug. He sang us some songs, became buddies with Scott (aka Joe) and told us where he buys his beer. When the boys left, they made sure to take their new friend along but not for long. They walked a block one direction, left him at the corner then came running back. After ditching their friend, they found somewhere to sit and have a beer while Dana and I waited for our doughnuts.

The magic is in the hole

I got VD in Portland

Good things come in pink boxes

I made sure to pick up one of their "specialty doughnuts" for Sarah. I don't even want to say what is was but it was cream filled, delicious and very inappropriate. I also can't tell you why Clint was laughing so hard in the picture but I can tell you that it had to do with Sarah's inappropriate doughnut and Scotts involvement LOL

P.S I got scolded by my mother for taking this through security at the airport LOL

We need to plan our next brother sister adventure. Next time we need to make sure we have the other siblings, well Sarah for sure but mom still may be left out (she's a party pooper). No matter what the boys say, Dana and I know they thought this adventure was fun and they can't wait to do another =)
