The 4th of July weekend tends to suck as far as driving to the beach. So we skipped the weekend, and drove down early Monday the 3rd! We were the first car in the public lot at 9am at
Cannon Beach. It was cold. It was windy! Diane, Hannah, and I took a long walk on the beach (Michaela had to work) and played in the tide pools at Haystack Rock since the tide was out. It was a wonderfully relaxing trip.
Of course Hannah wanted to jump in the ocean, but it was COLD! We putzed around the town and headed down to the beach after lunch. Diane and I took the mellow approach and lived in our beach chairs while Hannah played in the little river that empties into the ocean. After a couple of hours, while Diane napped, I took Hannah to the edge of the ocean, and we jumped waves for a bit, but it was COLD! It would have been nice except for the wind.
So we went back to the town, and did some more window shopping ("no, we're not shopping for windows Hannah.") We left at about 7:30pm, what a wonderful day! Hannah fell asleep about 60 seconds after we hit 101. Diane crashed about 15 minutes later. A nice quiet drive home!
