Ken does such an amazing job researching and finding special places to camp and Fort Stevens was no exception. The Fort Stevens Military Reservation guarded the mouth of the Columbia River from the Civil War through World War II. This Oregon campground is right on the ocean and has more than five miles of hiking trails and seven miles of bike paths.
Lauren (Poohnut) celebrated her 10th birthday during our stay in Fort Stevens. She’s been counting down the days to her big day for at least the last 2 months. Much of the planning of her birthday included her menu planning. We started the day with Ken’s cinnamon buns. Lunch was chicken wings and dinner chicken picatta. Dessert included homemade pumpkin pie! What a foodie day! She loved spreading her present opening throughout the day and had such fun opening them all. Oh to be 10 again!
Ken and I took a great bike ride to the ocean and throughout the forested area. Our weather was warm and sunny and we didn’t want to leave!
