After work and a late lunch today we decided to go for a walk on the beach. Both of us had in mind we'd just head out to the beach, turn left and head down a bit the way we hadn't yet walked. The weather had improved, and the trail…
Last night's dinner was fabulous. Jimella and Nanci's Market Cafe in Klipsan Beach on the Long Beach Peninsula. Pan-fried Willapa Bay oysters, caesar salad, a glass of semillon, then both entree specials: wine-poached halibut with house-made tartar sauce, prawns and scallops with a brandy cream sauce, glass of syrah. Dessert: chocolate…
Comments closedThis afternoon we went for a drive up to the end of the peninsula…or as far toward the end as we could get. We ended up at Leadbetter Point State Park just past Oysterville. There's not much there but a parking lot and one trail that leads to Leadbetter Point…
Comments closedLast night's dinner. Freshly caught and cooked crab, and champagne. Simple, and perfect! We shelled a third crab to have with our breakfast. This morning for my birthday breakfast Kevin made my favorite: poached eggs with crab and spinach on an english muffin, topped with hollandaise and chives. SO DELICIOUS. We'll…
2 CommentsWe drove into Ilwaco and grabbed some fish-n-chips (and shrimp-n-chips) at Imperial Seafood on the waterfront. After lunch we headed over to pick up some fresh crab at the fish market a few doors down. Unfortunately, they are closed until mid-May. So we drove a little bit North up 101…
Comments closedWe went for a nice walk on the beach today before we headed into town for some fresh seafood. I took a couple shots with my iPhone, then turned 'em all arty, because, well, sometimes I'm arty. Between Cape Disappointment and Long Beach, WA. (Posted by Laura)
2 CommentsToday we drove from Stub Stewart State Park out to Cape Disappointment. (See earlier post about our previous day trip here…it's gorgeous!!). We stopped at Camp 18 for some lunch. If you are driving to or from the Oregon coast on highway 26, you should stop here. It's perfectly Oregon.…
1 CommentToday we took Kyle into Portland for some Portlandy things. First stop was home to grab a few things, and then we headed over to a food cart we found online called Carte Blanche. It's in an older Airstream Safari, over on SE Hawthorne and 32nd Street. Here's a link…
3 CommentsYesterday we took Kyle on a little wine tour of Forest Grove. We started with the main reason we decided to do this today: Bacon Bash at David Hill Vineyards. From their website: Everything is better with bacon. Everything bacon paired with extraordinary wine. We will pair smoked bacon, peppered…
2 CommentsWe moved over to Stub Stewart State Park today. Kyle will follow later this afternoon and Lisa & George Mehallik will be joining as well. We'll be grilling up some salmon, roasting some sweet potatoes and green beans, and likely adding some martinis and hors d'oeuvres to the mix. We…
