"Blues Fest with my peeps!!"

We went to the Blues Festival with our awesome friends Mike and Erin on Saturday. LeRoy and I had never been so we were exicted and not sure what to expect. Very fun and interesting!!!!!It was on the waterfront in Portland on the Willamette River. We started out in the sun. SO HOT! Walked around for awhile. Decided it was TOO hot so walked up town to Pioneer Square. Erin and I can always fit a little shopping in! The hub's were so great and just went along with it......

Lots of people and boats and music.............

Witnessed a lot of "older ladies" in crocheted, halter tank tops (did I mention......no bras). The fashion police should have been called! Along with the "older gentlemen" wearing socks with sandles....Really?????

We came back to the festival and it was in full swing and packed. And so hot! So we thought "maybe" we could find a spot in the shade to move our blanket???????????????? (good luck with that!)

Well................never send the guys to do a girls job!!!! We needed to find shade. And us girls were going to find it! Erin and I walked thru the crowd and found a sliver of grass in the shade................so we asked some "older gentelmen in socks with sandles" if we could put our blanket in the little sliver of grass in front of them.....................They were more than happy!!!!!!!!!!! And then I said "ummmmmm.......we have husbands too. can they come too?" hahahhahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaa..........the old guys thought us young hot chicks were hitting on them...........hahahahahhhaa............was so funny. (they were married, but thought they still had what it takes to pick up chicks). So we squeezed in and sat in the shade and enjoyed the music!

And of coarse we had to eat street food! Greasy, glistening fair food..............

I had a yummy, greasy hand dipped corn dog!! (and I got CARDED at the beer booth!!!!)

So after a day at the waterfront listening to blues and eating junk food and shopping. We decided to be adventurous and go downtown to Voodoo Doughnuts.......I've seen the Portland location featured on the Food Network and Travel Channel.

Wow.....there was a huge line! And we were a block from Burnside and it was a little sketchy down there. We drove down burnside and saw bum's fighting in the street...........Should we really be here??????? (Mike.......thanks for not getting us killed........and for being the driver....)

Well we can say we have been there......and stood in line on the street......for crazy glorified donughts!

We stood in line for about 1/2 hour.

Finally............we are in!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh my.............they don't mess around here! Butterfinger topping. Donughts with fruit loops!!!!!!! Maple bars with bacon!!!!!! Pink-coconut cute ones. Coco-puffs..................are you kidding me???? These are all the ones we bought. hahhahahahahhah.........broughT them home for the kids and to take to the coast the next day for the 4th of July.

Mike looks like "the man".........he kept us safe from all the crazies!!!!!!!

We can say we have been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (they were pretty good donughts).

We had a fab day hanging out with our friends. Thanks for asking us! Can't wait for our next adventure!!!!!!
