Just a quick note on the Tillamook cheese factory...YUMMO!! We had ice cream for lunch and cheese samples as we toured. We decided that dinner tonight will be cheese, sausage, crackers and olive/pickles...one of our favorites and perfect after a day of travel! So, here are a few facts from the Tillamook Cheese Factory...more than 1.7 million pounds of milk arrive every day at the plant. Each of the stainless steel cheese vats holds approx 53,000 pound of fresh milk. It takes 10 pounds of milk to make 1 pound of cheese and approx 167,000 pounds of cheese are made there every day. Talk about WOW!! It was a really neat plant to tour and I highly recommend Tillamook cheese! P.S. Their ice cream was amazing too :-))

  2. Ok. So you already know that there was ice cream. It was worth saying again, though!

  3. Sounds like a great day! Wonder how their ice cream compares to the ice cream of the Amish land? Maybe you should chart all the places you have ice cream and vote on who has the BEST?

  5. Sooooo good to hear from you Stephanie!! Yes, Oregon has been one of my favorite places so far!! Have you ever found the "squeaky cheese" anywhere else? Perhaps we will just have to have them ship is some?! Blessings to you and your sweet family
