Cannon Beach

The second to last Saturday in August, Mom, Ashley, and I all took a trip to the Oregon coast. We did a bit of school clothes shopping for Ashley, stopped in a cute town to look at some shops, went to Cannon Beach, and treated ourselves to a scoop of ice cream at the Tillamook cheese factory before heading back home. There was a cool glass blowing store we went inside at the town we stopped in. We got to watch the artist creating a beautiful large glass bowl. We could feel the heat eminating even from across the room behind a partial glass wall. It was amazing to watch! Cannon beach had absolutely perfect weather. I don't think I have seen such a nice day on the beach at the Oregon coast before. I could have stayed there all day just reading a book. It was wonderful! Ashley and I played in the water a bit, planning to just get our feet wet. By the time we left I was wet clear up to my thighs from waves that snuck up on me and was dripping with sand sticking to me when I got in the car. Jeans are not the lightest things in the world when holding so much water. It was fun anyway and I was glad to spend some time with the girls on our day trip!
