Love how this picture turned out with the street lamp illuminating the brilliant, yellow maple leaves! I usually can't get a night-time picture to turn out like this without a tripod or flash.

Hope you're enjoying these beautiful fall days! Don't forget to turn your clocks back next week (unless you're fortunate enough to live in AZ).
A few months ago, we saw them advertise a "Pumpkin Train" ride for this weekend only. I clipped it out and it's been on our fridge so we wouldn't forget. The day to go finally came! Keith has been helping his secretary re-roof her house (don't analyze it too much) and since he underestimated the time it'd take to get it done, he had to go back today to finish (still not done, hmmmm). Jordan asked if I'd drop him off at the track so he could race his RC truck, and I decided to do the train ride with Jaeden and Brooklyn. The newspaper said it was $3 admission per person. Being the cheap person I've turned into (thanks to hubby), I grumbled (inside) when they told me that for the three of us it'd be $15. What??? 3+3+3 didn't equal 15 in my math book. I mentioned it, and they said the "Pumpkin" ride was $5 each. Well, why didn't they put that in the ad? The train ride itself was a bit of a disappointment, but someone mentioned that some of the track might still be in disrepair from our

A stop at the Tillamook Cheese factory was a must on our way back home to WA. 
Not sure where in the process of making cheese this is, nor what exactly they might be doing. It looked to me like the cheese curds were being stirred and broken up with the giant mixer machine. The workers would pick up bigger pieces and break them up by hand.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend getaway and can't wait to go back. I first fell in love with the Oregon coast almost 10 years ago and never tire of seeing it's beauty.
