Super delicious food by popo

Popo came to stay with us for about a month when we were in the US. We were glad that we can taste all the super delicious food prepared by popo again everyday.

While popo busy cooking, gong gong will be always busy reading news, books.... He is very knowledgeble as he can answer most of the questions that we asked him.

 

One of the reasons we love summer!

One of the reasons we love summer is there are a lot of fruits available during this season. Peach & Nectarine are the girls' favourite.

Blackberries

Raspberries

Cherries

Blueberries

Strawberries

 

Prunes.

 

Grapes

 

And we found this champagne grapes from the grocery strore. It is the smallest of all seedless grapes. The average size of each bunch is only the length and width of a hand. 

 

Multnomah Falls

Multnomah Falls is one of the must visit place in Oregon. On the 12th August 2012, we brought gong gong, popo and yan auntie there. It is a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge, located along the Historic Columbia River Highway. Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the State of Oregon. Unlike many of the West's famous falls, Multnomah Falls does not dry up in the late summer. Rainwater, an underground spring and snow melt feed the falls through all four seasons and ensure a spectacular sight any day of the year.

 

Daddy also drove to the top of the mountain to have a nicer and clearer view on Columbia River Gorge.

We went to Wong King's for dinner. It is one of the restaurants that we love to go ( gong gong's favourite restaurant too ). The Dim Sum, Chinese food and roast pork here are really good.

Sightseeing at Newport & Lincoln City

We drove to New Port on a sunny Saturday morning ( 11th Aug 2012 ). New Port is about 109 miles away from where we stay. It took us almost 2 1/2 hours to reach there. New Port is a city in Lincoln County. We passed by Newport waterfront.

Wanted to try some fresh crabs and seafood in Newport.

 

Here we are....

 Live crab with homemade cocktail sauce ( it is a combination of wasabi and chilli sauce, really yummy! )

 

Fried squid.

 Fried Oyster

 

 

After lunch, we went to Yaquina Bay Lighthouse.  

 

MS climbing uphill with popo. The wind was really strong.

 

The kitchen

 The lighthouse was built in 1871. The Yaquina Bay structure is the only existing lighthouse in the state in which the living quarters are housed in the same vuilding as the light.

 

 

The pantry 

An old piano in the parlor.

 

In front of the light house. 

 

 

LS holding tightly to popo as the windy, and it was cooling too.

There was a sandcastle competition at Lincoln County on that weekend. It was quite cold and we just stayed for awhile.

We reached Hillsboro during dinner time and we had our dinner at the Mongolian Grill.
