<\/a><\/p>\nThe drive from Portland to the Coast is very scenic. I knew our guests would enjoy it and they did. It’s about a 90 minute drive through forest, rolling hills, mountains, and once we get closer to the Coast–fog hanging above the trees. It’s a pretty wonderful spot in Oregon.<\/p>\n Once we got to Cannon Beach, we stopped at a restaurant called Dooger’s for lunch. I was starving! I got a cup of clam chowder.<\/p>\n After walking on the beach for a few hours, we went into Cannon Beach to walk the town. It was packed with people. We made a few stops and one of them was to the candy store, of course!<\/p>\n \n Fudge<\/p><\/div>\n The step-sister’s boyfriend was like a kid in a candy store. He bought tons of candy to take back home to Texas. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Taffy<\/p><\/div>\n And I got to watch taffy be made! It was cool and mouthwatering!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>It was good. I hate it when clam chowder is overdone and the clams are too chewy. This was done right. For my lunch entree I ordered the scallops sauteed and it came with toast and coleslaw.<\/p>\n<\/a>I was glad I ordered the chowder because the scallops were tiny! They were prepared perfectly though. Not too chewy. I also had one beer with lunch. I hadn’t planned on it, but a beer sounded really good once we got to the restaurant.<\/p>\n<\/a>After lunch, we headed down to the beach. It was the perfect summer day at the beach! Not cold, not too windy. The sun was out, and the weather warmed up as the day went one. It was such a gorgeous trip! I will post pictures of the beach in the next post. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/a>Michael and I bought some Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge and Peanut Butter and Chocolate fudge. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
