Cannon Beach, OR

Here are the pics from our first trip to Seattle and Cannon Beach, Oregon. Unfortunately we only took pics at Cannon Beach.

This is E in the car at our first stop, to feed him at a rest area
Mark decided to take a pic of me feeding him


Mom and Dad at the rest stop

On the road! It's about a 3 1/2 hour trip from Seattle to CB. We drank lots of Henry's rootbeer on the trip since we can't get it in SC.

Mom in the backseat, keeping E happy when he was awake

We're here!

Mark's "we're here" pose

E was sleeping when we got there, and he had used his burpcloth as a blankie haha

View from our room

We laid E on our bed to continue sleeping once we got in the room

Outside the room ready to go on our first walk

On our first walk on the beach! It was cold that morning

Mom and Dad with sis Christy and bro-in-law Kevin outside our fav breakfast place The Lazy Susan in town

Eating breakfast, Grandma and Aunt LouAnn joined us

Mark took pics around the table

Dad decided to stick out his tongue

Mom and Nama

Grandma

The classsic Lazy Susan muscle shot, except I forgot I was supposed to make a serious face

E looking cute in his beach outfit

E's first time swimming! He neither hated it nor loved it, just had a straight face pretty much the whole time

In the water

Love the expression on his face, "I'm not so sure about this"

The family in the water

Me and my lil boo

More family pics

E and Aunt Kimmie

E and Uncle Kyle

The whole swimming crew

E on the beach in the pack n play with his toys

Happy boo on the beach

Mark and Kyle relaxing on the beach
The beautiful Oregon coast in the morning looking towards Haystack Rock

Looking towards Twins

The Twin Rocks

Starfish are all over the rocks

From Twins looking back towards Haystack

E and Aunt Kimmie. Kimmie was the only one who didn't get to see E right after he was born, so she was pretty much glued to him the whole trip.

Grandpa Gifford, Mark and E before we went on a walk

Heading towards the beach

The three of us on the beach

If you are wondering why we are often bundled up, it is cold in the morning and evening here on the Oregon coast, it isn't like the south.

The crew on the walk

The Rock in all her glory

E walking with Daddy

Kimmie and I

Dad and I

Sweet pic, E fell asleep towards the end of the walk

In town before we head back to Seattle

Sleeping E

A few pics of our fav places in town...this is Pizza Afetta

This is Osburne's, not Osbourne's (haha inside family joke, I would explain but it probably really wouldn't be that funny to you)...really good ice cream
Bruce's Candy Kitchen, best saltwater taffy ever, and many other yummy sweet treats

The town of Cannon Beach...it is the cutest town ever!



That completes all the pics from the first leg of our travels this summer, will start working on the pics from Pawley's Island next. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great week!

  1. Yeah you'd NEVER be bundled up like that at the beach in the summer over here. Did you guys play in the ocean?

    I'm so glad you got some family shots....my lil Mury is such a handsome fella. :)

  2. Fun to see the beach pictures - such good memories of our time there - makes me want to go back again now! Emmory was so cute and such a joy to have along on his first Cannon Beach trip - and of course his parents were too :)
    Love you three, Mom/Nama

  3. Only the brave played in the ocean, the wussy people didn't (i.e. I did, Mark didn't :)
