Voodoo Doughnut is hopping all the time and fun for kids

Voodoo Doughnut is a MUST see in Portland. It’s open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week so there really is no excuse NOT to go. And the doughnuts are amazing.
The best I’ve ever had.
B.E.S.T.
We went later in the evening and the place was packed with a line out the door. I felt like it was more of a seedy part of town, but I also felt very comfortable there even with the kiddos in tow.

The building is painted with gold sparkles. The kids loved it, and I always adore places that go over the top with their chosen décor.
Life is short.
Paint the walls with gold sparkles.
Hells yeah.

The kids were tired and Eli was throwing up. But they were super into it.
(SIde note: He randomly throws up ever 3 or 4 months. Weird, right? Any suggestions about what it could be?)

Then we ate doughnuts.
And it was good.
I tried the bubble gum, maple bacon, oreo, the fruit loop one and the plain chocolate one. My favorite one (by far) was the plain chocolate. I’m a simple gal.
It was sooooooo yummy I’ve thought about it way too many times since our visit.
I love doughnuts.

If you’re looking for a wedding location… they have that at Voodoo too! Here’s a funny Voodoo wedding story one of my instagram friends, Jenn, shared with me… The night before her cousin’s wedding the officiate got very sick. They couldn’t find a replacement on such short notice, so the whole family went to Voodoo Doughnut early in the morning for the official wedding. Then they had the rest of the day as planned.
How rad is that memory? If I could go back to my wedding… I wonder what I would do… maybe Voodoo.

Nature and Nike in the morning.
Organic dinner and Hopworks.
And midnight donuts at Voodoo Doughnut.
I’d say we nailed this Portland thing pretty well.
We sadly left our friends the next morning… after Mrs R made breakfast… of course.
