A Quick Weekend Away to Oregon and Washington

Michael's new company flew me in for their Christmas party and it was so much fun. I met a lot of new people and had a delicious dinner. Santa even showed up!!

Michael and I then had all day Saturday to have fun in Oregon and Washington.  The first thing we did was stop at VooDoo Doughnut.  It has been on the Food Network and the Travel channel so I wanted to try it.


It was decorated really cool inside.


Doughnuts turning on the carousel.


Yep!  The big doughnut was called the "cock-n-balls" and it was cream filled.


"Why do I have to take the first bite??"


I love the big doughnut on the ceiling.


Then we went to Multnomah Falls on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge.  It is the tallest waterfall in Oregon.


When we saw that it was only a mile to the top of the falls we decided to take the trip.




One mile up a mountain is not easy and when I saw this sign and still was not at the top I almost cried.  It was another 200 ft. but holy cow that was hard, especially with a big coat, camera and my purse.


FINALLY! We made it to the top. You can see the parking lot below.



Lots of trees with moss


On the way back down we saw a rainbow.


Woo hoo!! We survived!



Beautiful view from Mitchell's lookout.

After our workout, we drove to Hood River and enjoyed a wine tasting at the Naked Winery fully clothed.  The names of the wines were naughty!



Mout St. Helens National Volcanic Monument


Mount St. Helens... my first volcano sighting


Saturday night we had the BEST sushi at Bamboo Sushi.  The salmon was out of this world!!


I could barely see Mount Hood.

What a fun and quick trip to Oregon and Washinton.
