After Logan’s nap we went to the Tillamook Cheese Factory<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. I haven’t been in about 15 years, I think. And they recently remodeled it. It looked really nice! We checked out stuff but it was pretty crazy. I mean the crowds and lines were pretty insane.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And unfortunately, the cheese factory wasn’t doing anything. Maybe they were on a break? But there wasn’t anything to see. So we bought some Tillamook cheese curds and a small loaf of smoked gouda and left.<\/p>\n

Instead, we went to The Blue Heron French Cheese Company<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I loved the Blue Heron. It was a much better experience than Tillamook Cheese Factory. Less busy AND they had a petting zoo! I posted some videos on Instagram of Logan<\/a><\/strong><\/span> feeding the animals!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Skip the Cheese Factory and go to Blue Heron. They have a TON of cheese, wine tasting, a gift shop, ice cream shop and petting zoo. So much fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We got a serving of the Black Cherry ice cream and the three of us shared it outside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We came home with a jar of puttanesca sauce, a spicy red jalapeno mustard, some smoked gouda and smoked brie. Michael’s mom bought some peppercorn brie, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We came home and then prepped dinner stuff. Michael’s mom brought filet mignon that Michael grilled up and it was delicious–like butter!<\/p>\n

I baked a loaf of delicious multigrain bread. And I also made this recipe:\u00a0Saut\u00e9ed<\/u><\/b><\/span>\u00a0Rainbow Chard with Tomatoes and Onions<\/a><\/span>. The swiss chard and onion was from our “Imperfect Produce” box and the tomatoes were from our garden. It turned out great! I was happy with it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We also had the peppercorn brie with dinner–SO GOOD! I definitely ate too much bread and brie. The steak was perfect. The swiss chard was great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Sunday we packed up and made a stop at the Cape Meares Lighthouse before heading home. It was a really pretty view.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You could go up into the lighthouse and do a tour but since we had Bella we skipped it. We took some photos and then made the drive back to Portland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Logan slept the whole way home!\u00a0It was a great trip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
