Let's play trains...
This past weekend, the kids and I decided to take a trip down to the Portland Expo centre to see the model train expo. We managed to get Tara to join us, she has not been feeling well due to a cold.
As you can see by the pictures below, there was a lot of cool trains to see. From some amazingly small ones (check out the one inside the old Macintosh computer) - right up to ride on ones (we have no pictures of that one.)
All in all, it was a fun time - definitely a place to visit if you are interested in model trains at all. They had workshops on how to build scenery, to the story about Walt Disney and his interest in model trains.

Our trip to Tillamook
On January 28th we went to Tillamook. Tillamook is famous for its cheese. Some of the pictures below were taken outside the cheese factory. The other pictures are of some of the famous Oregon coast. We thought the view was very similar to the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
