one of the most beautiful places we stopped on our “oregon trail” was cannon beach. the water reflected like glass, and the air was crisp. it wasn’t the warmest day, but it was so stunning. this beach is not on the way to portland. do not be mistaken! i thought it was a bit closer than it actually was – portland is farther from the coast than i expected. but the coastal drive is worth it. that is where you get to see all the cute towns by the water, with their antique shops, art galleries and cafes. cannon beach is one of those cute towns. buts its a bit touristy if you ask me. the actual beach is where its at. the thing i liked best about this beach though? when you kick your feet in the sand, it makes a funny noise.






I’ve always really wanted to go to the Oregon coast. It looks beautiful. On your Oregon Trail did a member of your team get dysentery?
oh my goodness melanie. its SO beautiful. can’t say either of us got dysentery though, but that would have made things so much more fun! dang, maybe next time.
