Day 237/365 ~ 2012

My Facebook "Update" summed up our first day at the beach....
"So very happy to be at Cannon Beach! Of course the leaking tire valve on the way out of town was a bummer...so was forgetting Kaitlin's bag (that has 80% of her clothes in it) at home...then there was the root beer that spilled in the van...and Matthew really doesn't NEED underwear, right? Today is a new day! (I posted this the following day) Salt water taffy & Sandcastles make it all better!"  

And while the Sandcastles and Salt water taffy didn't make it ALL better...it sure helped!

Bruce's Candy Kitchen ~ one of our first stops, for the saltwater taffy! (We get two bags...one for me and one for everyone else. Nope, not even kidding). :)

I love the charm of the small downtown.  No Wal-Mart here, thankyouverymuch.

Next stop: The beach!  The kids could not get enough of the sand and water.

There is something about the ocean that just brings a different sort of joy out in my kids.
I love to see it. I think they feel so free here.

I love the sound. I can't get enough of the sound of the waves crashing in and I love the first breath of sea air when the car door opens.
