Tillamook Cheese Factory

Last week I mentioned that John and I took a day trip out to the Pacific Coast to see Cape Lookout State Park, but honestly, the real reason why we ventured 50 minutes west of Portland was to check out the Tillamook Cheese Factory, located in Tillamook, Oregon.  (The coast was a beautiful bonus!)  The factory features an overhead observation area for visitors to watch how cheese is actually processed and it also includes informational kiosks along the viewing corridor.  The factory is extensive with lots of complex and industrial equipment.  After looking at how the cheese was packaged, we had to try the sample aisle of cheeses, and of course, we had to get some ice cream.  The ice cream flavors were nothing too elaborate, but definitely wholesome and delicious.  I got a waffle cone with two large scoops of French Vanilla and Peanut Butter Chocolate.
