This year my family was able to rent a beach house for the first time. Cannon Beach is our favorite place and it didn't let us down this year. The week wasn't even over with and my dad was already planning for the next year and saying that we needed to schedule 10 days instead of only 7! The week started out great for me because Brad was able to come for the first couple of days and spend time with me and my family. My parents came and picked me up in Hermiston and then we met Brad in Portland for lunch. I rode with Brad the rest of the way to the beach. Jenny arrived about an hour after us. Our friends from church, Dick and Jeanne were also at the beach and we all decided to go to dinner that night. Then we built a bonfire down on the beach so Brad could experience it.
The next morning Brad and I went for a walk/jog down to Haystack Rock. It was low tide and we were able to walk around and see the starfish and rock close up.
A couple of hours later we decided to rent beach bikes and had a great time. Wow! What a leg workout you get. After returning them and telling the guy where we went, he informed us that we had just biked a total of 7 miles! Oh my! Now I know why I was hurting so much.
Then it was downtown for some shopping. Before Brad left we had to go down to the beach one more time. Jenny and mom sat watching while Brad, Dad and I threw around a frisbee. It was sad to see Brad go, but I know he had a great time. The next day, the temperature got up to 80 degrees and we spent 3 hours down on the beach. Dad and I got a little toasty but it was well worth it.
The rest of the time was spent shopping, eating ice cream, reading books, eating s'mores, playing games, going antiquing, building bonfires and just relaxing. Sounds like heaven, don't you think!!
I had to leave Friday, a day early to attend a wedding in Tri-Cities. Brad came up with a plan for us to spend some more time together as well as get me to Portland to ride home with my friend Chelsie. He came and picked me up Thursday after getting off work and we spent the day together just relaxing and watching movies. Then Chelsie and I left early Friday morning for Tri-Cities. Vacation was wonderful this year and I'm so glad I was able to get time off and go.
