Tillamook Creamery

EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, said if we were close we needed to go to the Tillamook Creamery on our trip. So planned that. It was a little bit of a drive out there, but it was very cool. Walking in, that place was a very busy place. 

Sorry, out of order pics, of one last chess game at Seaside before we left. 

A "few" of the zillions of shells we have collected so far. 

The Tillamook Creamery had this huge interactive area that explained all about their cows and the ownership of the company. It was VERY interesting. 

We have been on quite a few "tours" of food places and this one definitely is one of the top ones. They had so much information and things you could see and learn about. 

I was impressed how much the ownership belongs to the farmers now. 

These salt tubes were very hot. The salt goes super fast in there to push it to the cheese. 

One of the coolest parts of the tour is they had so many windows to look down on all the parts you were learning about. 

And all the workers were there doing exactly what the captions said they were doing so you really got to see what was happening "live" so to speak.

We got to try 6 year old cheese! It was pretty tasty. 

And we, along with a zillion other people, ate in the restaurant there. 

And of course we got ice cream. 

It was a very fun couple of hours there! Thanks Tillamook!
