A Day at the Beach... And the Cheese Factory

We drove out to the Tillamook Cheese Factory today. The tour was short, but interesting. I got a bag of fresh cheese curd which is the tastiest thing in the world. I don't like plain cheese. I put cheese on stuff but I can't eat just a chunk of cheese. But this fresh cheese curd they had was fantastic. And unfortunately I think you can only get it there. They don't sell it at the store so we'll have to go get more some day.

After that we drove up 101 and stopped in Cannon Beach. We got some pizza and walked down the little main drag with all the shops. We got some candy in a decent sized candy shop. I also got a sweet business card holder that has a picture of Spock on it and says "Live long and prosper". Too bad I'm out of business cards, but it reminded me to order more when I got home. I can't wait until they get here.


Then we walked out toward the beach where a friendly bunch of ladies took our picture for us.


And here is a video of Elliott being Elliott.

  1. I got double enjoyment out of the video of Elliott: I got to see Elliott being a cute baby boy AND I got to listen to Jiles making baby noises - ha ha ha! Loved it!

  2. As far as cheese curds, I love them too. Donny says that deep-fried cheese curds are a staple food in Wisconsin. Why add all that deep-fried fat? They're yummy just as they are. I saw some packages of cheese curds at Safeway in the deli department a while back. Almost bought them but they were too pricey. You might check the deli department in your local grocery store. They weren't with all the other cheeses, but with the fancy schmancy ones.
