Yummy Food!

April 13^th, 2015 (Monday):

This morning we left Gladstone and are heading north towards Seattle. We met up with Scott’s friend in Portland for breakfast. It was a unique breakfast place in that they sold biscuit sandwiches with friend chicken and other meats on them. I had a sandwich with fried chicken, bacon, cheese and apple butter. Boy was it good! And Scott had a sandwich with fried chicken, bacon, cheese, fried egg and gravy. The place had a line to the cashier the entire time we were there but it seemed to have a good flow to it; you didn’t have to wait too long. It’s nice to find breakfast places that have distinctive food options…it’s not just your typical omelet, scrambled egg, and pancake restaurant.

Going on HWY 5 North now and it’s a rainy day. We were considering checking out some National parks but not in this weather. So we will spend the next two days in the city visiting some friends then go to Olympic National Park along the coast of Washington. Soon, we will be on Route 2 heading East!

Monday night we stayed at the Travelodge in Seattle by the Space Needle. It was the perfect location for us to walk downtown near 4^th and 5^th avenue where the restaurants are. We caught up on a Netflix series called “Bloodline” for a bit and then found a nice pizza place to have dinner at called Bambino’s. The pizza was delicious (made in a brick oven).
