Clamming
Our good friends JoEllen and Jeremy took us clamming a few weekends ago. We headed out to Willapa Bay early in the morning and slogged around in the exposed bay floor. It took some time to figure out the best technique to find the clams, but once we did, we all caught our limit. We went home, steamed our clams in butter, white wine, and garlic and ate until we couldn't eat any more.

Our new car...
A couple of weekends ago, we traded in our old car for a brand new 2012 Subaru Forester. It strikes a balance between functionality and adventure. We love all the features that make it ideal for any outdoor excursion and the luxuries that make city driving enjoyable. It's our perfect car.

Portland, Oregon - Day 3
On our last day in Portland, we decided to eat brunch at Jam on Hawthorn. The thirty minute wait was worth it! We had hash browns with vegetables and tofu on top and a chai pancake. To say the least, the meal was wonderful! Our last hours in Portland were filled with photo-booths and shop-browsing. Our much needed getaway was both relaxing and exciting. We can't wait to do it again!

Portland, Oregon - Day 2
We started our morning with some coffee from the Stumptown Coffee Roasters connected to our hotel. We hung in the Hawthorn District where we wondered around a Powell's Books location and ate fresh berries from a local farmer's market. For lunch, we ate at Bridgeport Brewing Co. where we had beer and mac & cheese. In an effort to work off our lunch, we went hiking at the Hoyt Arboretum where we educated ourselves on many types of trees and plants. We even spotted a large owl! For dinner, we stayed in and had a fresh baguette, cheese, and wine.
