One of my favorite memories about our honeymoon is the Krispy Kreme Adventure. Chad had gone on about the wonderful Krispy Kreme doughnut for eons before we got married, so when we got to Rhode Island and found out that there was a store just outside of Providence where we were staying you can't imagine OUR excitement! So we went to the tourist bureau (because the Hotel people would only tell us it was super far away) for directions, I mean really, we figured, you can travel the whole island in 45 minutes how long of a drive can it be? So after they too went on about how long the drive would be and we had explained we were from CANADA, and they picked their jaws up off of the counter (whipe the drool please) AND we'd explained why we'd chose Rhode Island of ALL places to spend part of our honeymoon at, they described for us a 10 minute drive out of town.
Excited, Chad called the store to ask when they would have their fresh doughnuts. For those of you that don't know what makes their doughnuts so amazing is that when you come in during production hours you can watch them be made in the store and they will serve you one right off the conveyor belt when you walk in the door.
Well, I of course had never been there before so Chad wanted to ensure I had the full on expereince. So he got the timing down and decided to go over for after supper dessert (we were headed to the Italian District in Providence for supper). After supper we headed off, of course we got lost the first time but when we finally got there their conveyor belt was down, disappointed we headed home. The next day we got the times down again and went over after a Mr. Potatoehead hunt. When we got there, the belt wasn't working again. Disappointment we decide to make a midnight run because they promise us it will be up and running by then. Remember Chad has kept me in the car each time, because he doesn't want my first expereince to be anything but complete, so I'm not allowed to even enter the store as he gets the info.
The next morning is Sunday and we're packing up from our hotel adventures to go camping along the coast, it is our last chance to get to Krispy Kreme so we decide to get up early and get Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast before church. But, the next morning the alarm doesn't go off right (who knows how to set hotel alarms right anyway?) and we wake up with 1 hour to go before church. We've got to shower, pack up, go get our doughnuts and get to church in an hour, and it's a 10 min drive outside the city each way. We realize we can't possibly do everything. You must understand that that was they only time we could go when doughnuts would be fresh!
Convictions aside we jump from bed right into clothes to go to Krispy Kreme (yes over church, head hanging). We get there, whipe the sleep out of our eyes and see the red neon sign, it is lit, doughnuts are being made! Walking in the door, the conveyor belt is going, and a fresh, hot, glaze dripping doughnut is handed to me. I must tell you it was the absolute best doughnut I have ever had and I fully intend of hunting one out in Seattle this summer.
Please ignore the lack of makeup and "just crawled out of bed" look! :0PIs there a Krispy Kreme in your area? http://www.krispykreme.com/
