So Long Portland!!


September 18, 2010 – We packed up our Portland house and headed to the infamous Voodoo Doughnuts (http://voodoodoughnut.com/) to learn what everyone is talkin’ about.  I tried a Mango filled donut but Joe, feeling adventuresome, went for the bacon maple – did you ever have a donut with a strip of bacon on it? 

We did a quick tour of the Saturday Market then headed to California.  An important lesson learned  . . . it’s pronounced Organ (like a body part) not Or-E-Gone!!  J  
 

It was a looooooooooooong trip to California.  We would have liked to have leisurely taken the coastal route (we’re still hoping to get a coastal view in California) but, since we’re on a time schedule, took Highway 5.  It rained a good portion of the day and the fog was intense.  Joe did a great job of driving on water-soaked mountain roads with semi-trucks all around us – better than I did as a passenger . . . my knuckles were white!!!

We are now checked into a Doubletree in Rohnert Park, California . . . waiting for room service . . . this is our celebration tour, after all :-)
