From what I have been told, I have loved and devoured clams from a very young age. Where other kids were asking for spaghettiOs and hot dogs, I preferred clams.

We have been cultivating a wide variety of shrubby manzanitas at our nursery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and have been delighted to see them capture the imagination of Northwest gardeners. Once thought of as finicky in our region, it turns out that many, including those native to California, are ideally adapted to our naturally dry summers, and are surprisingly tolerant of winter cold as well.

Portland Aquarium- Permanently closed: Reviews from families visiting Portland Aquarium- Permanently closed. When I first was planning to go to the aquarium, I had heard from friends that they were disappointed. I went in with low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised with things and really enjoyed ourselves. This is not Sea World or the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but a small converted building in Milwaukie, Oregon. Prepare for a parking lot that is on the small side. They opened a couple of days ago and the Sea Otter and Puffin exhibits are not open yet (they will be in the Spring). The exhibits that are open were really fun. Hands down my son loved touching the Manta Rays the best. The Manta Rays and young sharks will swim right up and rub on your finger tips. You can also buy food to feed the animals. That will really brings them right up to you. There was lots of hands on experiences for you and your children that were fantastic. Employees come out and explain the animals and all of their features. Everyone was really helpful and friendly, despite a few opening week glitches, which did not hamper our visit. The space also offers a great play space and a lorikeets exhibit, as well as a really fun dress up area. All in all, it is small, but I felt like it was well done considering the space they had to work with. The gift shop is spacious, and very few families got out without buying something (they had some GREAT things!). It looks like they are going to be opening a snack shack outside (by the entrance) as well. It made for a really fun morning out.
