Road Trip Eats!

I am married to an Italian who enjoys good food! My Jimmy just loves to eat and we get to dine out a lot as it is part of Jimmy's entertainment! On our road trip, his first favorite restaurant stop was the Pacific Oyster Company.

We had a really pretty day for traveling with sunshine!

Isn't he a happy camper? This is his beloved oyster stew...with double oysters. You get 18 oysters in the bowl! WOW...not my thing, but it sure is Jimmy's!!!

I love their cute logo...

Thursday morning we passed the Pronto Pup shoppe! You have to understand that Jimmy LOVES pronto pups AKA corn dogs and cozy dogs. Jimmy calls them by their Illinois name...cozy dogs. When we rounded the corner and he saw the giant pronto pup on the the top of the building, he almost had a heart attack!!! LOL!!!

Can you believe they had a pronto pup ride for kids? Too funny!!!

He's ready for eating...3 for $8.00. I had one and he had to deny himself a few more!

Way too funny...a giant pronto pup!

When we were up in the Astoria area, we asked a young man at the museum where we could have a very nice seafood dinner. He suggested the Baked Alaska. So, we gave it a try.

What a great suggestion! The place was just charming and the food was delicious. Jimmy looks pretty happy, huh?

You sit right on the water and we enjoyed the ships being turned by the tug boats. It was just fascinating. You can see that the weather wasn't too great!

Scallop dinner! YUM YUM YUM!

My choice was prawns and crab spahettini....a very light spaghetti dinner with no heavy sauce. Just lovely.

What a wonderful way to end our trip. 

Road Trip Shopping!

Jimmy and I didn't have to babysit this week, so we decided to take a little road trip to the beach for an overnight. The weather was pretty the first day, but it poured rain over night and was really wet on Thursday, but who cares when you like to go to antique shoppes?

We enjoyed lots of wonderful shoppes, so I wanted to share a bit of the goods we found. I love this little grouping of purple souvenir milk glass. I just was enchanted by it.

Oh, I loved this little German cardboard home complete with farmers and lots of animals.

The 4th of July is just around the corner and several booths were decorated for the upcoming holiday.

Children's books are always calling to me...this was a really cute Christmas one. I was good and left it there....

A sweet Japanese children's tea set, still in the box. If it would have had 4 teacups and 4 saucers, I probably would have had to bring it home!

I don't know what I liked better...the vintage metal dollhouse or the quilt blocks!

I am always drawn to little shelves and cupboards! Cute little dishes too!

Doll clothes are always so sweet and so fascinating to me. Most are homemade and that makes them even more charming.

You just have to love these little baby carriages. I love the one I own.

I actually loved the wooden blue chair more that then cute teddy bear.

Dollies to love!

She was a cute little stuffed doll sitting in a cheese box!

These were two lithographed children's dust pans with darling graphics.

My other loves is always dishes, teapots, and pretty things! Look at all the goodies on these shelves!

I was sure tempted by this beautiful rose biscuit jar!

A wonderful chocolate pot. I have a one very similar.

Fun fun fun!!!

A nice collection of Liberty Blue. I have a wee bit of this but would love to have the teapot. Maybe someday....

I hope you enjoyed a peak at our shopping. I will post more of our trip later. It was so nice to get out of town and just think of ourselves. 

Going home...

Jim and I left Montana this morning after a wonderful road trip to Montana for LaVonne's birthday celebration. This is how the trees looked over  Lookout Pass! So pretty but so scary. I won't be able to post on Teacup Thursday this week as I will be driving home on Thursday! The calendar says SPRING, but we drove all day through snow and are spending the night in Spokane WA tonight. Guess what?
Snow here too. I guess it was snowing in Portland and Troutdale today too. Where is spring? Easter is just around the corner and it's hard to think about bunnies in the snow!
