Travel log : Oregon Coast


Growing up I had fond memories of visiting Cannon Beach in Oregon, but after our recent visit a few weeks ago, I am still in complete awe of its beauty. (I guess I didn't fully appreciate it as a child and teen.) It also happened to be the first time ever I have ever visited the gorgeous beach on a clear day. It is definitely one of my favorite Pacific Northwest beaches.

1. We rarely get a family photo opt, so my sister-in-law snapped up a few for us with the beach in the background, thanks Holly.
2. We visited the beautiful Astoria column which shares the history of the area and has incredible panoramic views. (Although V and I had only had a brief look due to the incredibly windy heights.)
3. V practiced jump shots on the beach, do you ever do that? She loved it.
4. Little India was in heaven running on the beach wherever she wanted and also trickling the wet sand through her fingers and toes.
5. A partial view of the river from the Astoria column park.

We definitely jam-packed the day with fun. We also enjoyed watching the girls picking up shells with their cousin, flew a kite, and stopped for yummy clam chowder at my sister-in-law's local favorite place. Then it was off to the Tillamook factory for ice cream and to see how cheese is made. It was a wonderful day with lots of curvy pretty tree lined driving too. Thanks Holly for a fabulous time.

It looks like you all had such a wonderful time! We visited the OR coast for the first time last summer and fell in love. We especially enjoyed our time in Astoria at the Cannery Pier Hotel!

Tillamook Dairy is my favorite! Cheese curds and ice cream - the perfect pairing!

If you go south from Tillamook, try taking the scenic route over Cape Lookout, down along the ocean to Pacific City- make a point to lunch or dinner at a little place called The Riverhouse!, The food is wonderful and the setting (right next to the Nestucca River) makes for some great views of Mother Nature's diversity!. The entire coast always makes for smiles!
