Before leaving on Saturday, we had to stop at Franz Donuts to get some glazed old-fashioned donuts for breakfast. Everyone had been eating donuts from Franz all week and we had to see what the fuss was all about. They were worth the hype. The box was empty by the end of the day. We found one of the last Ivar's as we drove south out of Washington and so stopped for lunch. We had fried halibut and clams. There was a sign on the wall that said "I think, therefore I clam" and the signs on the bathroom doors said "Buoys" and "Gulls." We headed on to Multnomah Falls and Vista House at Crown Point in Oregon. Because it was the weekend after the fourth, there were TONS of travelers like us stopping to see the sites. It took a lot longer than planned, but the drive up to Crown Point was really pretty and we ended up passing more fruit stands where we bought more berries to make jam. We passed a few more waterfalls on the way back to the highway and headed on to Pendleton where we stayed the night.
We stopped in Baker City, Idaho on Sunday. My great grandfather had a bike shop there, and we stopped to see the house where my grandma was born. The rest of the drive was uneventful aside from some rainbows, and Max was more manageable this time around. We had a great time, but it was good to be home.
