Canon Beach.

For Halloween weekend we took a little trip to Canon Beach. Mom had a couple of gift certificates from her boss to stay at the Ocean Lodge, so we decided to stay a couple of nights there. We got a corner beachfront room, so we had a view of the ocean from every window!



We had so many gorgeous views from the balcony. . .the first few minutes in the morning were taken up with taking tons of pictures.



Haystack Rock was right outside our window. Mom kept saying, "Hey! We can walk to Haystack Rock!" Yes, we could, except for the fact that it's surrounded by water!



Every time we stay at the coast, we take a little drive to Astoria. It's kind of become a tradition to go see the Astoria Column.



This year, we decided to actually climb it. We had never done it before, but it was so fun.



Views from the top!



Down in the parking lot, they have this sort of Indian replica thing. We have yet another tradition where we always have to take silly pictures climbing all over the rock. I know, we're kind of crazy. Okay. . .a lot crazy.



We took a drive to Indian Beach and Ecola State Park. We got some of the prettiest pictures.



The last day, Emily had to search the beach for seashells. . .it's one of her favorite things to do. She found so many this time and even a clam shell that was completely whole and still in one piece!



We had dinner at Mo's (the best clam chowder ever!) and saw this lovely sight out of the window. What a perfect ending to the perfect day on the Oregon coast!
