Recently, Casey and I took a trip out to the coast. Our destination: the oregon aquarium in Newport. On the way we stopped in Tillamook valley, where alot of the pacific northwest's dairy is produced. There's a big cheese factory there and we went in for the tour/tasting. We had to pick up some of their cheese curds, they're called squeeky cheese because you can hear a squeek as you chew them. Pretty tasty too I might add. We also went to a smaller french cheese making company and did their wine/cheese tasting. We bought an extraordinary amount of cheese for two lactose intolerant people, but I guess that's a testament to the power of cheese. The weather at the coast was pretty miserable but the ocean waves were huge and got to see the ocean as I'd never seen it before. Our hotel room was nice and the Aquarium, though small, was nice too. I never realized that aquariums have mostly creatures that are from the regions around their locales. This aquarium had lots of things that live in the oceans around here, totally different from the critters at the florida aquarium. We also did alot of shopping around gift shops and antique stores on this trip which was loads of fun.
