Our Summer Trip, Part 3 - Cannon Beach, OR


A week at Cannon Beach, OR...it was so much fun. I love the beach. It's always so calming no matter what the weather is like.
This year was exciting for us because we got to take Logan to the beach for the first time. I know he won't remember it, but it was still fun for me and Sam to watch him be amazed at his surroundings. He wasn't on the beach all that much since every time we took him there, he got upset. I don't think he cared for it all that much. But on a more positive note, he got to know his cousins, or rather, they got to know him. It was fun to watch all the kids interact with each other. It was just too cute!


Some of the things we did while at Cannon Beach were...
*The beach..obviously!
*Cannon Beach, downtown - Sam and I found the cutest ice cream shop. It's called the Picnic Basket. It's totally cute with lots of Tillamook ice cream to choose from, jelly belly beans, saltwater taffy, burgers, fries, and elephant ears. It had a fun atmosphere and hopefully we will get to go there each time we go to Cannon Beach.

*Manzanita - where we ate good mexican food, walked down the street and let the kids go to the beach and then eat ice cream.









*Seaside - We rode the carousel, chased each other with bumper cars, and of course went to the arcade. The arcade is always fun, but there's something about Seaside that makes the arcade better than others. It's just so much fun. Sam and I also hit the outlet mall and bought a couple of things. Such a good deal to be able to shop at an outlet mall and not have to pay tax. It's one of the best feelings. :) And, Sam and I were able to go see a movie!!!! We haven't seen one since the 3rd Pirates of the Carribean. It's been a long time. We saw "Get Smart". We enjoyed it, but afterwards, we agreed it may be awhile before we see another movie again. We prefer to watch movies in the comfort of our own home. Movie theater seats just are not that comfortable.









Yes, this year was fun at Cannon Beach...but there really is no place like home.
