{the journey begins...part 2}

We left on a Saturday morning at the absolute crack of dawn. How early you ask? Well we had to make a pit stop at Starbucks on our way out (of course) and it wasn't even open yet. We actually sat in the parking lot with 5+ other coffee addicted crazy people for 15 MINUTES until they would let us in.

So addicted.

Then we were on our way to Portland. Extra extra shot filled Americano in hand, I took on the first leg of the journey and let Chris keep sleeping. I'm so generous.

And a mere 3 hours later we arrived at our destination in Portland, the Stepping Stone Cafe. 

Their slogan is 'you eat here because we let you'.

I love that.

In true man vs. food form, Chris and I ordered the famous Mancakes from the episode, pancakes the size of my face, and then some. We split only 2 of them, and also ordered a ham & cheese omelette. Massive is an understatement.

Chris' old roommate Rich and girlfriend Kate met up with us to eat. We had a nice time catching up and chatting before we were so stuffed that it was time to hit the road. Too full to drive. So Chris took 0ver:) 

The mancakes were BARELY even dented. Katherine vs. food.....fail.
