Cannon Beach, OR

A couple weeks ago we had a great family trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon. It's about a 4 1/2 hour drive from our house, just long enough when traveling with 5 little ones in the van and being asked the same question every 10 minutes, "Are we there yet?"!!!!!! Ryan found this great place to stay, The Ocean Lodge. It was beautiful and perfectly located right on the beach. We had fun playing on the beach building sand castles, flying kite, exploring Haystack Rock, and just being together!

The picture of the rocks....that scene will always and forever remind me of Goonies.

It looks like a beautiful place to stay.

Our family loves Cannon Beach also. We just went there a couple of weeks ago. Looks like you had a wonderful time, and love the fun things you did. Very cute pictures of you all. Happy fun family memories for sure.

When I see your pretty scenery I question why I live in AZ.

I miss pretty stuff.
