Epic Road Trip Day 7

Day 7: March 23, 2011

Another day in Portland. Luckily it didn't rain today, so we decided to help out Brooke with some chores (meaning I updated my blog while Jeremy helped Brooke clean) and then head into town to do a little sightseeing on our own. I told ya'll I was going to check out the Grilled Cheese Grill and Voodoo Doughnuts. Which we did! It was so awesome. I finally got my grilled cheese with pickles, and I was so happy because they use the good pickles, Claussen. Got two of those with a side of really good homemade tomato soup. Jeremy got the Jalapeno Popper with roasted jalapenos, colby jack, sour cream and tortilla chips (in the sandwich). So good! We ended up eating in the double decker bus while Mariah Carey was playing.

Next was Voodoo. Of course I had to get the bacon maple bar, the original. And let me tell you, I'm a big Dynamo bacon maple apple doughnut fan, but it doesn't even compare to the bar with the full strips of bacon. We also got, blueberry cake (really good), Mango (not so good), gay bar (cream filled, of course!), blunt (more of a novelty), and of course the Voodoo! Really cool place, really cool doughnuts.

On our drive back we decided to take the backroad and ended up seeing signs for the Pittock mansion. On a whim, we went to the hilltop and it ended up being one of the most beautiful places in Portland. It reminded me of the Winchester Mystery House in the sense that was built by a ridiculously rich person and it's beautiful.
