Alright, one last road post and then you’re safe for a bit. This isn’t really the road trip time of year, after all.After a somewhat disappointing hike around Cape Perpetua (Thor’s Well wasn’t being very impressive even at high tide, and the youngest member of our entourage tripped on a downhill trail and shredded both […]

On the Road Again: Chalet Restaurant & Bakery (Newport, OR)
onOkay, one more road piece, then I’ll do a local. Miss Golden Rule’s b-day was turning out kind of bland. Dinner had been less special than expected, the weather wasn’t particularly conducive to hanging out at the beach, and we had no dessert plan locked down. I had made some unsuccessful inquiries, and it was […]
On the Road Again: Cafe Mundo (Newport, OR)
onOkay, I know I just did a road post and I promised to mix it up a bit, but right now my backlog of road posts is bigger so bear with me. So, after a brief exploration of Portland’s street food scene, we headed off to Newport, probably the closest thing Miss Golden Rule has […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Oregon Coast Weekend Day 2 (La Maison, Tillamook Creamery Cafe, Local Ocean Seafoods)
onDeja freaking vu. I spent two hours on this post the other day, and when I went to publish it my browser crashed. Apparently whatever the glitch was that caused the crash was also preventing the auto-save from working, so the entire thing went *poof*. I guess I could have started over right then when […]
Treats and Tragedies on the Road: Oregon Coast Weekend Day 1 (Panera Bread, Nana’s Irish Pub)
onI know that the out-of-town posts don’t resonate with a lot of you the same way that the local ones do. I guess I don’t understand that because it’s not lot like I’m constantly posting from Asia, or Europe, or even just the East Coast the way a lot of bloggers do. I’m a man […]
Memorial Day Weekend 2014: Day 3 – Newport, Tualatin, and back to Portland (Fishtails Cafe, Panera Bread, and more Voodoo Doughnut)
onMy alarm went off at 6 am. Not exactly the most sensible thing for someone spending a single, relaxing night by the ocean, but I didn’t know if the morning crowds were as bad as the evening ones at the local restaurants. I love breakfast food, and don’t go out for it anywhere near as […]
Memorial Day Weekend 2014: Day 2 – Portland and Newport (HK Café, Ocean Bleu at Gino’s, Nana’s Irish Pub)
onSunday morning was kind of a blur. We got up, got ourselves together, went to look around the awesome Safeway Sis and I had spotted the day before (yes, I get geeky about nice grocery stores), get some coffee, then we checked out of the hotel and headed off to break my three year dim […]
