We started our day with brunch at Screen Door Eastside. This restaurant was packed on a Thursday morning but luckily we got seated right away. We ordered the chicken & waffle (2 pc chicken: 18 USD), banana foster french toast (14 USD), and praline bacon (9 USD). They served huge portions and everything was delicious which makes sense why this restaurant is so busy even on a Thursday. #oregon #portland Cannon Beach is known for the Haystack rock which is really enormous and pictures don't do it justice. It’s a beautiful place to watch the sunset and end our day trip along the Oregon Coast. #oregon #oregoncoast We had a quick dinner at Tom's Fish & Chip for dinner and tried their 3-piece cod fish & chips (13.95 USD). It tasted really fresh and had the perfect amount of crispiness. They also serve clam chowder and burgers at this shop if you want something other than fish. #oregon #oregoncoast Hug Point State Park has a short .7-mile hike that's takes you to the beach. The surprising thing is behind the cliff on the right side. You'll find sea caves and a beautiful waterfall that flows into the beach . #oregon #oregoncoast Tillamook Creamery have a self-tour on the second floor on how the cheese is made and when you finish, they give you free samples of a variety of their cheese. Back on the first floor, there’s a food court where you can get their ice cream, fried cheese curd, and more. We love the marionberry pie, Oregon hazelnut & salted caramel, and peaches & cream ice cream. #oregon #oregoncoast Ecola State Park has a beautiful viewpoint of Cannon Beach with the famous Haystack. The viewpoint is a short walk from the parking lot. This is a must along the Oregon Coast and it's only 10 minutes drive from Cannon Beach. #oregon #oregoncoast Pelican Brewery has been on our list since we saw it on the top beautiful brewery list years ago. It’s right on the beach and are steps away from the water. My husband enjoyed their flight taster with 8 different beers that only cost 12 USD and we love their delicious clam chowder (Bowl: 11.99 USD). #oregon #oregoncoast Starbucks opened its first store in 1971 at Seattle's Pike Place Market. They offered freshly roasted coffee beans, tea, and spices from around the world. We didn't get anything here but we did peek inside to see what the original store looks like. #pikeplace #seattle #washington I was super excited to try Rachel’s Ginger Beer because I love ginger beer. They have over 11 different flavors plus seasonal flavors. The cashier recommended the pink guava and grapefruit. Do you like Ginger Beer? #pikeplace #seattle #washington Seattle Antiques Market is a 1978 antique shop. It’s a 6,000 sq ft warehouse with all sorts of things from posters to furniture to all kinds of collectibles. This shop is a 15 minutes walk downstairs from Pike Place. #seattle #washington
