Today we took a day trip out to the Oregon Coast. It was a wet, rainy, and foggy day when we left this morning.
On the road to the Oregon Coast
First, we headed to the Tillamook Cheese Factory.
Look at that adorable cow and his handsome farmer!
We learned a lot of stuff about cheese…. and cows…..and milk……and farming…..and cheese!
Tillamook Cheese Factory Production Line
When they first started producing the cheese in such a remote area, they had to find a way to get their cheese to the market. Their solution? A ship!

After the cheese factory, we made our way out to Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint.

The Oregon Coast- Tillamook Bay
Next we hiked further up the trail head, surrounded by many fallen trees, until we made it to the ……. Big Spruce!!!
The Big Spruce sign
Here is a picture looking up from the bottom of the tree….

It is hard to get a good perspective with my little pocket camera.
Standing next to Big Spruce.... doesn't look that big next to us, does it?
Then, it was time to head back home…. to reality….
Hmmmmm.......
