stop #4- a stroll by the water.
stop #5- VOODOO doughnuts.
the most mind-blowing doughnut shop in the history of the world.
allegedly you can even get married here.
you can't get that in just any dunkin' donuts folks.
when people line up outside and wait in a line for a doughnut...you know it's good.

he waited in line.
he bought our doughnuts.
i like this guy.

then we hit the open road and drove from 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.
are you impressed?
you should be.
we are pretty hard core.
we finally made it back to denver safe and sound.
what an incredible trip.
why can't it always be fall break?
until the next time i get to drive the country with my favorite guy...

So jealous you were in my home state...hope we Oregonians treated you well =)
ReplyDeleteHannah, A-MAZING! such a fun trip! I have a few questions tho:
ReplyDelete1) What the heck were the people doing behind Nick at the first Starbucks?
2) How did you not die with an entire wheel flying off your car?
3) Did you pet the sea lions? (cause i probably would have tried to..but they did look a bit mean?)
4) Did you add any gum?
5) When's the next road trip? Maybe we can meet in the middle of Nebraska!
Love you!
