Are you ready for some pictures???? :) I’m telling ya, it was so hard to pick just a few because Austin took some amazing pictures. So just suffer through the endless beauty. Jk.
Friday we went to Cannon Beach. This is where the impressive Haystack Rock is. I loooooved this place. So pretty.
Cute, I know :)
These little guys were all over the place.
Couldn’t believe the hundreds of starfish we saw on our trip.
Funny story about this picture. I was out exploring and was trying to come back to the shore. I guess the tide was really high when I was trying to get back because all of a sudden I was trapped on this rock. I know it doesn’t show it very well, but if I had stepped off that rock, I would have been up to my waist. So I just had to wait and look like an idiot until the water lowered and I could jump to the next rock :)
Here is a quick picture of Arcadia Beach.
Our next stop was Cape Meares. On our way there, we took this short trail to see this HUGE Sitka Spruce. I’ll let you read the sign. It was such an impressive tree.
Look how big that tree trunk is!
Our next stop was the Cape Meares Lighthouse. On the way we took some pictures of the huge cliffs that bordered it.
Here is the lighthouse.
On our way back to the car, we stopped to see the Octopus Tree.
Here is Manzanita. We ate lunch in this town. Funny story about that. We were going to eat lunch at this Pizza place that we read was really good. But they didn’t open till 4:00. So the closest thing to us was this pub. I didn’t really want to eat at a pub, but they had a menu on their door and the prices were reasonable so we went in. After we sat down, the waitress comes over, puts a hand on my shoulder and says, “Are you over 21 hon?” I’m like “Um.., yeah, I’m 28.” I was so embarrassed! I mean I saw the sign on the door that said 21 and younger would not be permitted inside, but I SERIOUSLY didn’t think I was going to have a problem!!! Yeah, I take back all my comments about how it doesn’t bother me when people think I’m younger than I look because I was peeved…
Our next stop was Rockaway Beach where there is this awesome arch rock.
By this time, it was getting close to sunset, so we went to Oceanside to take some sunset pictures.
Before we headed home, we stopped at Munson Falls. It was getting pretty dark by this time, but we were still able to see the cool waterfall.
I couldn’t believe all the amazing things we saw that day. Sooo looking forward to going back.

I've heard so many things about how pretty Oregon is. Maybe Matthew and I will have to take a trip up there. Plus I think the Nike store headquaters is up there.
Wow that looks like a blast!!! Who watched Kylie while you guys were gone? Was it hard to leave her or is she at an age that it was ok?
Beautiful pictures of you on the beaches. I love the spray coming up from the waves.
