Although I-5 is technically faster, we decided to drive along the coast for most of the trip. It was more scenic and had more towns to stop in. With a 16 month old in the car, we thought having more options for stopping would be a good thing. And, we were right. This route took us right through Tillamook, OR. We did not drive through; we most definitely stopped...at the cheese factory. Now, you might just think about cheese when you hear the name Tillamook. But, it is equally important to think ice cream:)
Ben got a waffle bowl with a scoop of marionberry pie ice cream. The ice cream was delicious, but the waffle bowl left a little to be desired. Spencer and I opted for chocolate peanut butter, and Katie had utterly chocolate. She couldn't finish all of her's, so I helped:) I would like a reason to stop for ice cream on all future road trips!
Technically we didn't have "dinner" tonight. We had the ice cream snack and then munched on crackers, hummus, summer sausage, cheese, and chips at the family gathering. We didn't go hungry, that's for sure.
