Cannon Beach

With Carlos' mom, Marianne, in town, we made a day trip to Cannon Beach. It was a great adventure since none of us had been there before. We brought the dog, the skim board, sand toys, chairs, and some reading material and had a wonderful time. Quickly, Matty and the dog were rolling in the sand and when Matthew's clothes filled with the stuff, he immediately stripped. The kid just loves to be naked. Once on the beach, I realized that the baby didn't like so much wind- and boy was it windy. So while the boys and dog played in the surf and tried their luck at skim boarding, I loaded Natalya in her Baby Bjorn and walked through the shops and galleries with Marianne. It is such a cute little town and very dog friendly, which I loved. The overall feeling in the streets is very up-scale and artsy, with Cape Cod inspired architecture. There are a good amount of shops to visit, all in close proximity and nothing overwhelming. A fun day, for sure!
