I had the weekend off (well mostly at least) and went to the coast with my family. For something a little different, I thought I’d post some photos from the trip.
We started in Seaside, which was a tad crowded, due to the Miss Oregon Pageant. We love playing on the swings while looking at the waves crash. While walking towards a set of swings, I noticed white chairs with little red bows being placed on the sand. I asked the guy putting them out, and it turned out to be a wedding, hosted by the Best Western Oceanview Resort. It looked so lovely!
Ecola State Park near Cannon Beach was our next stop. This was my first trip there, and I am already planning my return. After being out for hours already I couldn’t really throw my toddler in a backpack and start hiking like I was tempted to. Instead we had a picnic and ran around the lawn overlooking the ocean. The views were amazing. We could see Haystack Rock, plus lots others, the rugged coast, and even a lighthouse in the distance. Looking the other direction the fog was still hovering at the top of the treeline.
It was a wonderful chilly gray northwest day.
