Cannon Beach

We took Spring Break a little bit later than usual this year, but we were waiting for a break in the rain and for Chris to be done teaching. And it was a good thing we did!

The weather was gorgeous! We played on the beach in t-shirts! Low tide was not at 6 am! :o) We made a trip to Tillamook! And our favorite room at Ecola Creek Lodge got some terrific updates and remodels!

I also got to play with my new Zune the guys got me for my birthday and Zack bought his new iTouch on the way there! (I think they actually surgically attached it to his hand without us knowing it…) LOL

It was the perfect relaxing family vacation!

Or, apparently, playing with the new iTouch. ;o)

We had a super nice trip and it was really hard to come back to real life again… But I suppose that is why we still appreciate vacations!
