We drove about 40 miles from Tillamook to Canon Beach. I wish the
picture would do it justice but it cannot.
At one point(pictured) we came to a scenic overlook. From our vantage
point we could see the mountains, the Pacific and the dense fog we had
just driven through.
If you ever have a chance to have it the sharp cheddar is excellant. I
had a cheesburger in the cafe with tater tots,it was pretty tasty.
The coast is about 2 hours from Portland. Our first stop was the Cape
Meares lighthouse. We went for a brief hike in the forest which was
primordial. It looked like it was taken straight from Jurassic Park.
Our next stop was the Tillamook Cheese factory, which I think was
Amy's whole reason for the trip.
After what seemed like hours we reached the Japanese gardens. The
garden was nice but not worth the $8 price of admission. The garden
was in the process of being prepared for spring. I am sure the park is
great, just not in Febuary.
After the Gardens we headed to the Zoo. The was great it was a
beautiful day and all the animals a were out. I took a ton of photos
that I will post when we get back.
We then took the MAC downtown. The MAC is Portland's light rail
system. We headed to Pioneer Place, which is a mall(yes a mall)
More to come about our dinner at mothers bistro.
