Our Cannon Beach Trip

Our trip to Cannon Beach was really fun. And the weather? Way better than we expected! It was sunny and warm much of the time.

The Sandcastle Contest was fun to watch. They started around 8am and the judges started judging around mid-afternoon. The skill-level ran the gamut; from super complicated, to just a some kids doing a simplistic giant turtle. Here are some photos:











We ate at our favorite brekkie place, Pig n Pancake. THE best pancakes I have ever had, love them. We ate at a couple of places where Gabe did well and didn't start getting antsy until the end of the meals.

We didn't do much playing on the beach. While the weather was nice, once you actually get on the beach near the water, it gets rather cold and very breezy. We didn't want sand flying into Gabe's eyes, so we just walked around on the beach. Gabe also sat in a toddler swing for the first time. He really enjoyed that. To the point where when it was time to go, he did not like that one bit! Here are some photos:













The drive there and back was lovely. Gabe slept during both drives, and it helped that the distance was only an hour and 20 minutes.

Here is a pic of Haystack Rock:



My allergies have been acting up BIG time since I got back from Cannon. I thought I was coming down with something, but it seems to be that my sinuses are being irritated by something. Uhg. I hope that I feel better soon.
