Day 9 - Cannon Beach, Oregon




This is the cute face we wake up to each day peeking out of his bunk bed!

It is cold, rainy and windy.  We went to the quaint village of Cannon Beach & took in the great views of the huge beach and rocks off the shore.  The huge rock is called Haystack Rock for obvious reasons!  Flying kites is a big thing here - with such wide open beaches and they had no problem keeping them flying with the wind today!  Walked among the shops and homes...the whole village seems as though they have a rule that all houses have to be shingled with cedar shakes.  The houses look great.  What a nice place for a weekend getaway if you live in close by Portland.

Then we headed south to Tillamook.  Famous for a huge cheese factory (apparently).  We toured the factory...very cool.  One must remember jobs on an assembly line when one is complaining about their cushy office job!  We indulged on some cheese and they also happen to make great ice cream!  We are camping tonight right on the ocean in a little bay called Netart Bay.  Jack loves it here.  I spent the first hour here standing in the rain and watching him run and dance in all the puddles...ah, the beauty of having a little boy!  John is out doing the laundry...ah, the beauty of having a little boy with diarrhea in an RV!

Glad to hear the bedding is working out. You will have to get that guy a big boy bed when he gets home! Remind me to tell you the story of when I flipped Cole into a large tidal pool on the beach (face first), when we took him camping on the west coast in the rain! Good memories! Great photos... no wonder John wants to get to a warmer climate if he is the one washing damp poopy clothes! Ha, Ha

Love Ya,
