Portland

 We got in to Portland on Monday and took a tram ride to see the city.  It is actually a way to commute to some office buildings at the top of the hill, but we just went up and down for the view.  Zachary loved seeing Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens- the volcano!

 Riding MAX which is Jennifer's daily commute...but very exciting for us!

For lunch we went to this awesome block full of food carts.  It was awesome!  3 of the 4 sides are just lined with carts with food from all over the world.  Pick a country!  A few of us ended up with korean BBQ which was great.  Mom and Caitlin got Thai food and Elizabeth opted for mac and cheese, along with bites for everyone else.

 Portland has a famous donut shop 'VooDoo donuts' so we had to check it out.  We got the crazy ones- bubble gum; peanut butter/chocolate/oreo; maple bacon; and froot loops.  The verdict: it tastes like cereal on a donut :)  The most exciting thing was that they had a selection of vegan cupcakes!  Vegan means no animal products at all (no milk, eggs, meat, etc) so Zach can have one!  It was his first donut ever.  He still talks about how yummy it was :)
