Come treat yourself to pleasurable conversation with other mothers and mothers-to-be, and an absolutely delicious meal. Big, bright, and airy, this Madison Valley cafe will dispel any ideas you might have about vegetarian food being boring. This gourmet cooking draws on influences from around the world. One of the house specialties is a Portobello Wellington made with mushroom-pecan pâté and sautéed leeks in a puff pastry. Keep an eye out for unusual pizzas such as shiitake-mango or asparagus -pecan. Cafe Flora is a Mecca of interesting, unusual, first-class culinary experiences from drinks to dessert. The mothers share stories, pictures, parenting issues, including those specific to our children's adoption story, while enjoying a delicious time together.

Dungeness Spit

Don't miss the Annual Camping Trip at Dungeness Spit from July 16 - 18 this year. Even families new to camping love this spot. The group campsite makes it easy for kids to run like crazy without having to worry about cars. There's a covered shelter with picnic tables, and bathrooms with showers close by. Everyone goes for a walk on the beach on Saturday, and there's a potluck Saturday night.
