I treasure my one one one times with my boys. Especially knowing that our time is numbered with them as they start spreading their wings.
He walked with me to the post office, then we decided to pick up a hot beverage at Manzanita News and Espresso. I introduced him to a chai tea latte. He liked it. I knew he would. He pretty much likes everything. We sat outside and watched the birds bathe in the birdbath/fountain.
Later that afternoon, I took him down to Kelly’s Brighton Marina for crab. He loves crab as much as I do! Due to Covid restrictions, we were not allowed eat at their picnic tables, so we took the crab to a bench on a dock in Nehalem and ate there.
While in Nehalem, I had heard of a place that makes amazing and unique ice cream. We went to Buttercup.
Alex had the pear-gorgonzola ice cream with a rosemary cone. the gorgonzola was a bit too much for either of us and we ended up tossing after a few bites, but we are glad we tried it.
I had the maple marscapone with a spiced pecan cone. DELICIOUS!
They also make about different chowders. We ordered a delicious pumpkin curry chowder with grilled tofu to take home.
