Oregon Trip - part 4 of 4

Portland had the best food! Especially if you are talking breakfast. We had Voodoo donuts the first morning. Seriously the best donuts ever! I'm not even a donut lover, but had to admit those were pretty darn good. There were also street venders on practically every street!
We had waffles morning #2, Kyle got the best one with ham, cheese and maple! I had the "lemon pie" one with lemon curd and whip cream, also good, but not as good as the one with the ham, I'm still dreaming of that one. The 3rd morning we had biscuits at pine state biscuits, we both went with the egg, cheese and bacon. Oh ya, very good!

Sun rise from our hotel.



We had a full day in the portland area before we needed to think about packing up to head home. We ended up heading out to the Dundee Region outside of Portland. Turns out Oregon has a very large wine region. We hit perfect weather and it was during harvest so there was lots of activity happening. We stumbled into the Winderlea Winery which didn't necessarily have the best wine, but without question had the best view and tasting area. We hung out on the back porch for at least an hr just enjoying ourselves. Even made a couple canine friends with with the wineries labradoodles. The Argyle Winery had our favorite wines of the day and a pretty cool place too. We got a couple of glasses and just hung out in their garden for awhile. We wrapped up the day eating at Farm to Fork, amazing food!!

After the wedding we spent a little more time with family and then headed back to portland. One of the best things, ok the only good thing, about the drive between Grants Pass and Portland is the Winston Wildlife Safari. This was our second trip and it's one of my favorite zoos we've been to. Here are a few of my favorite

The big event. Saturday Oct. 16th, 2010 Kyle's brother got married (again). It turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day! The wedding was outside at a wonderful location along the river. Without question the best part of the day was spending time with family, particularly my wonderful nieces!

Oregon Trip - part 1

Kyle's brother got married a few weeks ago and since we had to make the trip anyway we decided to make a mini "vacation" out of it. Granted I would have rather been in Maui, but all things considered we wanted to make the best of it. We flew up a Thursday night, got up early Friday and headed to the Roloff Farms. We've been fans through the years watching the show so it was a great opportunity to check out the farm in person. We did one of the tractor tours and Jeremy actually drove the tractor for our tour. Kinda cool, right?! We picked up pumpkins for our nieces and nephew and headed towards Grants Pass.
