Trent gave us a mission to find the best coffee in the U.S., so we went to Theo's Coffeehouse because they get their beans from a local coffee roaster. The coffee was okay but the coffeehouse was huge. It did not have the small, cozy feeling of most coffeehouses.
Eugene's Saturday Market is the oldest continously operating market in the U.S. There were 3 blocks of vendors. Most were local artists. We got some garden art, earrings, baby clothes, a flower vase and CDs from a local band.
We headed to Cottage Grove to see 7 covered bridges. Lane County is known for all their covered bridges.
We took a back way to Eugene and saw King Estate Winery. Ashleigh had seen their pinot noir listed as one of the best for under $30 a bottle so we stopped. Drew tasted and bought Ashleigh 2 bottles that she can have after the baby comes. It is hard to find less expensive pinot noir in Oregon because all the wineries are boutique wineries meaning their production is limited. The pinot noir is wonderful though!
We ended the day with a walk through the Univeristy of Oregon's campus and got frozen yogurt from a restuarant on campus. The campus is beautiful! Just what you would expect of a college campus, old, ivy covered buildings.
