Cannon Beach_sat&sun

we awoke to a beautiful morning in cannon beach. the sun was out, and the weather was warm. we hit up pig n pancake for some grub [they have an amazing dungeness crab and chess omelette with sourdough pancakes! be sure to stop by if you're in the area!]. post breakfast, we strolled the beach.

the monolith above lays on cannon beach and is called haystack rock.

townsend just loved being in the seagrass. it must be the upland bird dog in him.

townsend loved running around on the beach. a little blurry, as usual, and ears flopping.

after our beach walk, we windowed shopped. nothing too exciting, just nice to walk around a small town. as evening closed in it started to rain, so we seeked shelter in one of our favorite pizza places: pizza-a-fetta. this place is amazing, and rumored to be one of the top 50 pizzerias in the country; according to pizza today magazine...which we're thinking about subscribing to!

----end sat----

----begin sun----

another beautiful rainy, dreary pacific northwest greeted us to a new day. rain or no rain, we're going beach walking. as we were walking cannon beach in the cold drizzle, the sun decided to focus all of it's power to burning off the clouds.

we were treated to a FULL DOUBLE RAINBOW! [photo doesn't do it justice]


welcome back beautiful haystack!


cold, wet, and dog-covered-in-sand...what a great trip!


on our way out of town, we stopped at ecola state park. they have one of the most scenic overviews of the oregon coast.


what a perfect end to a great trip!

Cannon Beach_Night Arrival

we rolled into Cannon Beach, OR this evening as dusk fell over the west coast and the sun sank a little lower than you'd think was possible. we got checked into a quaint little cottage, read: redone motel, and headed down to the beach for an evening stroll with our dog. here are our silhouettes:
