Oregon


Way back in the beginning of July, we headed south to Cannon Beach in Oregon.  It's a fav place of ours and we try to visit every year or every other year. We certainly have favourite spots and can't go to the area without visiting them.  I suppose we are just creatures of habit.

We stayed once again in a little cabin at the Sea Ranch RV park in Cannon Beach. While it houses us perfectly well, I don't know that we will stay there again. It costs just a little less than a hotel and you have to bring all your own bedding plus the beds really aren't that comfortable. The kids sleep on the bunk bed and we on the futon and once it's folded out, there is zero room. It just feels like more work than necessary for the same cost as getting a room at a hotel with far more space. Next year we will rethink things.

Like I said, we visited our usual spots but also journeyed a little further south this year to Tillamock to the Cheese Factory. It's gotten a whole lot bigger since our last visit years ago. We had a super great lunch, toured the factory and spent too much money in the gift shop on silly things. Back in Cannon Beach, we went to Bruce's Candy Kitchen and Pizza a Feta. We went to Seaside one evening for mexican food and games at Funland. After three great nights, we headed to Portland to see our good friends the Roller's (blurry pic below). 
OREGON we love you and look forward to our next visit.

Nature Loving - Flowers of Cannon Beach, Oregon

I've been holidaying in Cannon Beach, Oregon for well over 20 years now and the flowers NEVER. EVER. DISAPPOINT. This trip was no exception. I don't know who looks after it all in this sweet little town but they sure do an amazing job. So many varieties, the blooms are vibrant and colourful and can't help but bring you cheer. 

I'll post the rest of our trip soon. Cannon Beach will always hold a special place in my heart. I'll go back again and again and again.
