We took advantage of the last weekend with my Dad to go camping once more on the coast. This time is was more of the traditional Oregon Coast camping - very windy, and very cold. But still beautiful. :)
Thanks to Grandpa, we have some pictures to document our adventure...since I accidently left my camera at home. Agh! I'm still kicking myself for that. :P
We began our trip on Friday with a picnic lunch at Cannon beach, then headed a little south to Nehalem Bay State Park to camp within 1/4 mile of Nehalem Beach. After a lovely pancake breakfast and a quick walk to the beach, we packed up and took a 2.5 mile hike leading to Cape Falcon.
Cannon Beach - Haystack Seastack
Zoë after unfortunately getting a mouthful of sand. Bleh!
Picnic at the beach with Uncle Judah
My favorite part was watching the waves crash against these rocks.
Oh, and there are starfish hiding just above water level!
Our little beach explorer - braving the wind
"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!"
"He's got the whole su-un, in his hand..." :)
Favorite picture
Zoë grew fond of the grill flipper and was trying to dig in the ground with it...
then she got up and started walking down the road, waving the flipper around!
"Grrrrrr! I'm a bear!"
"Bear?! Who said bear? I'm an angel."

We finally made it to the destination and were glad we did - it was gorgeous!
(pictures don't even do it justice)
And, of course, lunch at Mo's. Zoë chowed down on my Clam Chowder,
and I thoroughly enjoyed her kid's order of butterfly shrimp.
Ah, the benefits of being a mom! :)
Goodbye coast, for now!
