cannon beach

my favorite part of the whole trip!

matt and i could live here.

we loved it that much.

we arrived just before sunset.

it was chilly, misty and perfect!

 

 

haystack rock.

there is something magical about it in person.

the beach was long, beautiful and abandoned

we walked along it, even after dark.

i love watching the waves at night.

 



 

 

this was our view of haystack rock out our patio

(please ignore the construction cones and porta-potty).

we did not even realize that we were this close to haystack rock until we woke up in the morning and looked outside.

a favorite memory of mine....

we walked out of our room and took a stroll on the beach with our hot chocolate.

i was even still in my pajamas, stratight out of bed.

we turned on genesis chapter 1 on matt's iphone and listened to the scriptures about the creation while we strolled.

it was spiritual.

this place is amazing.

 



 

the tide was low,

so we ventured right up to the rock and checked out all the cool sea creatures including these fun orange, pink and purple star fish.

 

it drizzled just a little.

 

matt and i love looking at houses where ever we go

and we loved the houses on cannon beach.

 

we went for a little drive around cannon beach and it didn't disappoint.

 

i can't wait to go back to this place and spend more time,

but we had to get going we had a drive to make.

next stop:  seattle to meet matt's family.
