After fighting the crowds at Tillamook Creamery, we decided we wanted a quieter lunch the next day. We found Hidden Acres Greenhouse and Cafe just south of Tillamook, Oregon. We ordered sandwiches and soup and all of our plates came with a …

Cape Meares Light
After such a big day of eating dairy at Tillamook , we decided a short hike would be good for all of us. We headed over to the Cape Meares Light. It was built in 1890 and you approach the light from a…
Tillamook Creamery
We decided to try and beat the crowds at Tillamook Creamery by going first thing in the morning and having our dairy for breakfast! Brandy and Justin told us about Tillamook Creamery - we hadn't heard…
Tillamook, Oregon with Brandy and Justin
We met wedding photographers Brandy and Justin about 8 years ago in Las Vegas during WPPI (wedding and portrait photographers international). We were at a [b] School party hosted by another photographer named Becker. We all hit it off and w…
Rabbits are everywhere in Oregon
We have seen so many wild rabbits in Oregon! James is absolutely freaking out. You might remember when we lived in Austria, James’ favorite treat was rabbit ears. I can’t find these rabbit ear treats here in the US, but I have found some ot…
Huckleberry Honey
I haven’t seen any huckleberries for sale in Oregon. I am thinking they really only grow in northern Idaho and Montana but I’m not sure. I don't even know what they look like - I've been told they loo…
Dory Boat Madness in Pacific City, Oregon
We were in Pacific City, Oregon and we had never heard of these Dory Boats. Apparently the Dory Boat history here in Pacific City is over 100 years old! The flat bottomed Dory boats are launched right from the beach into the sea. They fish …
Frisbee on Neskowin Beach, Oregon
We are just LOVING these dog friendly beaches in Oregon! We found a tiny five-space parking lot on the beach near Neskowin and we got the last parking spot. We had fun walking along the beach and of course playing frisbee with James!
Cape Lookout Oregon
When we first drove over the mountain pass into western/coastal Oregon, I felt like we were in a Twilight movie. The Twilight series is based in Washington, but most of the filming was done in Oregon. And this mountain area felt just like t…
Mull of Kintyre Scottish Cheese
Here in Oregon, I spotted something I had to try: Mull of Kintyre Scottish Cheese. When I was a little girl, my parents often played Scottish music and Mull of Kintyre was one of those songs that would always get stuck in my head. Now, when…
Tierra Del Mar, Oregon
It is so odd to see huge rocks in the ocean and on the beach! Chris and I both grew up in Florida with flat, sandy beaches. Here in Oregon, huge rocks are just out in the ocean and huge rocks are along the shore. So much of the coastline is…
The Best Chocolate Almonds
My absolute favorite sweet is dark chocolate covered almonds. I've tested MANY brands over the years. Until now, my favorite chocolate covered almonds have been the Sam's Choice Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds from Walmart. I thought it was …
Beautiful Summer Flowers in Bend, Oregon
I am really enjoying all of the summer flowers. These flowers are planted but other areas in Oregon have beautiful wildflowers all along the road!
Green Cars and Red Cars
I love cars with a color other than white, black or silver. My first car was green. My second car was maroon. My third car was candy apple red. My fourth car was forest green. My fifth car was navy bl…
