Oregon: Wine, Cheese, and Sea

This past Saturday and Sunday we traveled toward the coast, stopping along the way for wine and cheese. We loved Apolloni Vineyards' pinot noir and the salmon jerky at Ecola Seafoods.

We stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory and sampled dairy products. A and I approve of Tillamook's new flavors of chocolate ice cream, in case you're wondering.

Cannon Beach's famous Haystack Rock, as seen from the south along Highway 101.

Seaside, Oregon is considered the end of the trail for the historic Lewis & Clark expedition, which just celebrated its bi-centennial. We like Thomas Jefferson for initiating this curious and brave exploration.

Spring flowers in full bloom. Pretty ladies.
