Thanksgiving in Portland

For Thanksgiving, Owen and I went to see Jessye and Andy in Portland.  If the trip had a theme, it would be FOOD.  I seriously did not feel hungry the entire time we were there!  Jessye worked really hard to make sure all of the food was gluten free so that I could enjoy anything I want in giant quantities.

Olive is Jessye and Andy's pug that they rescued.  She was precious! What a great snuggle buddy!

VooDoo Doughnuts

Owen and I watch a stupid amount of Food Network and Travel Channel.  We could listen to people talk about eating and making food all day.  We were able to go to VooDoo Doughnuts in Portland which is a famous doughnut shop that has been featured by Anthony Bourdain:  VooDoo Doughnuts  and Man vs. Food's Adam Richmon: Man vs. Food- VooDoo Doughnuts


The shop is famous because:
1) They make crazy combinations of awesomeness into doughnuts
2) You can get married while you are waiting in line for breakfast
3) BACON maple bar....

Owen, obviously, went for the bacon. 

Tiki Bar

Jessye and Andy took us to all of the cool places in Portland.  One of our favorites was a tiki bar downtown.  You walk in the building and you hear thunder and it starts to rain-INSIDE! The drinks were amazing, and strong! This cute little pineapple you see below packed a punch!

The Slammer

The Slammer is one of Jessye's favorite places.  She kept talking about how they decorate for Christmas starting the day after Thanksgiving.  I was expecting a few strings of lights and some cheesy Christmas music, but these guys went all out! Every square inch of the bar, from the floor to the ceiling, was covered in lights and Christmas decor.  

Movie and Hard Cider=Yes

We watched the new Hunger Games movie at a theater/restaurant/bar. It was amazing! Owen was stoked about all the leg room, I was stoked about all of the Cider.

It was a great trip! Delicious in every way! We can't wait to go back!
