There once was a restaurant called Mo’s.
They made the best New England clam chowder known to man. [side note: I did not know there was such a thing as non-New England clam chowder until I went to college.] I would eat Mo’s chowder everyday if it weren’t for the unfortunate fact that they’re only located on the Oregon coast.
Thankfully, when we were in Oregon for Thanksgiving, we took our son to said coast.
Of course, we took the opportunity to eat at the restaurant called Mo’s.
We pondered the menu and quickly decided to order the clam chowder [duh].
We devoured the world’s best clam chowder in bread bowls all afternoon long, even while our baby slept. Then we devoured the bread bowls themselves, as is customary.
And they all wore their babies happily ever after (while they napped).
The End.

I wanna go to Mo’s and eat clam chowder.
Period. The end.
And I love the shot of you and your baby!
That is happiness! It’s written all over your face!
Allison – these are darling photos! Love that little baby tucked in the sling. Can’t wait to squeeze him at cupcake! :)

Great captures.
I too love Mo’s and had it every summer when we would come to Oregon. I actually haven’t been since I moved to Portland in August, but your photos certainly inspire me to head that way.
This makes me want clam chowder and I despise clam chowder.
Also, your baby is very adorable.
Great post, I’m glad that you still enjoyed the clam chowder whe you went back, sometimes I worry when I got back somewhere I loved it won’t be as good as I remember. THe beach looks gorgeous, we are so lucky here to live near the coast.

Yum! I am now convinced I must have a bowl of clam chowder. I agree with Jade, I always worry things won’t be as good the second time around!

I have never seen clam chowder served in bread bowls, but I want some! That just looks delicious. What a perfect way to spend an afternoon. You look so happy. Beautiful pics.
I love clam chowder. Good, New England style of course :) Looks like the perfect place!
I love your story and your pictures. :)
Great shots! I particularly love the two beach shots. I’ve never been a clam chowder fan, but I wouldn’t mind heading out to Mo’s and giving it a try. I miss the beach.
I just love that last photo! Such a sweet picture! Glad you got to have some chowder. That’s how I feel about gumbo. It’s only done right at this one little place in Louisiana!
Your sling is beautiful! As is this post!

So random – but I was raised in Arkansas and now live in Boston, but the one time I went to Oregon – I ate at Mo’s. YUM! really great pictures too of course. :)
What a wonderful story…glad you got to share it with your babe!
Love the sling color too!
Oh, I LOVE me some Mo’s. I grew up in Oregon – and I’ve been eagerly reading about your trip…makes me homesick. Glad y’all had fun! :)

I love Mo’s!!! It’s my favorite place to eat on the coast. Your post makes me want to take a trip over!
There’s non-New England clam chowder?!? *gasp!* (this is coming from a born-and-breed new Englander)
I love that photo of your sweet little one snoozing in the sling. Great pictures!
Adorable pictures!! Two of my favorite things bread-bowls and babywearing:)
I love your sling. That last photo is precious!
L-O-V-E Mo’s…. YUMMMM…. Now I am going to go to the coast just for some chowder!
