Cannon Beach

We are so blessed to have a wonderful family that helps us get time away together. Rick's mom and dad took the kids this weekend so we could get away for Rick's birthday. We left for Cannon Beach on Friday morning (Rick's drive consisted of him on drugs laying down in the backseat since he couldn't sit - see BLOG on May 17). The drive was beautiful going down, and about 30 minutes before CB, it began to rain; just a little though.


Our hotel, Surfsand Resort, was amazing. The hotel sits right on the beach, and has an outstanding view of Haystack Rock. It was so beautiful in real life. Pictures just don't do it justice! The room was incredible. There was even a little baggie of saltwater taffies for us :-)

The beach was so nice. Even though it was windy and chilly, it was still so nice to walk on the beach together. We were in desperate need of time away...

We ate a lot of good food at some great restaurants including Wayfarer, Lumberjack Grill, Bill's Brew, and my favorite, Lazy Susan's Grill and Scoop. We had our friends, Nate and Laura, from Portland drive over and meet us for lunch on Saturday! What a blast. They brought their adorable boxer puppy, Cassie, with them. We had more fun watching her play with another dog on the beach. Good food and good friends make for a great day!! Thanks guys.

All in all, it was a relaxing and refreshing weekend. We all need time to get away with our spouse to remember what it's like to be a couple and what it's like to just be with your best friend. I am so blessed that I have such an amazing husband that I LOVE spending time with. I look forward to another getaway...
