There are a lot of cool places to go visit outside of Portland. Here are a few of our favorite day trips.
An easy day drip that I do often—absolutely worth it for the coast line views. From the S'more, you'll spend about 90 minutes in the car each way. Plan to picnic on the beach and stop by the local candy shop before making your way back to town.

The drive through the Gorge alone is worth it, but this little town is so cute and definitely worth your time for its wineries, farm stands, historic downtown. Or windsurfing, if that's more your speed!

Catching a glimpse of the Haystack Rock (of Goonies fame) will take your breath away. There's really nothing quite like the Oregon coastline, so sneak away for a little day trip from the S'more to check it out.
