We just got back from our Oregon coast trip that I am hoping to make an annual event with some friends from The Dalles, the Loughmillers. We got there Wednesday night and left Sunday night. The first day was cold and windy. Erik did not have fun at the beach but I'm sure it had something to do with his ear infection that we found out about the day before we left. Sarah also had one. It made for a fun vacation. Actaully we had a ton of fun. The rest of the time was good to moderate weather. It wasn't too hot or too cold. We spent a lot of time on the beach and at our vacation home that we rented for the week. We also visited the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Erik especially loved the divers in the water that were cleaning the tank. Our last day was probably the best. Jenny and I enjoyed the local farmers market where we tasted organic salads, vinegars, goat cheese and breads. It was spectacular. That night for dinner we had salad, fresh mushrooms, bread with goat cheese and the cream la da cream, fresh Oregon Coast Dungeness Crab!
Our trip home was very long because we took the scenic route up the coast to Tillamook for a tour of the cheese factory only to find out they don't work on the weekends so it was a bust as far as the tour but I got some "sqeeky" cheese which took me back to my childhood when we lived across the street from the cheese factory in Sandpoint and my dad always got us "squeeky" cheese, otherwise known as curds.
it was great to go on vacation but it's also great to be home!
