Anthony and I had are first weekend away from all four kids. Camellia's first weekend away from mom. The girls stayed home with Grandma Brenda and the boys went to Grandpa Dan's. It was hard to decide where to go and stay. We ended up at the Oregon coast, so we could visit the Goonies house in Astoria and walk the beach. It was fun to locate the house from the movie.
Beautiful bridge the connects Washington and Oregon.
Being outside we heard the sea lions and went to visit them next. Crazy, funny animals, they are so loud and always amusing to watch as one jumps out of the water to join the others in the sun and squishes the others until the perfect spot is decided. Some of them had their head up high, stretching their neck or something.
We explored Cannon beach. Fun little shops and beach houses. The haystack rock and lighthouse were beautiful to look at with the surrounding water.
There were sticky blue and clear ocean life on the sandy beach. We didn't know what they were, later we found out they were called velella velella.
Before heading home, we found a close waterfall to look at. Signs told about Louis and Clark exploring the area. Cool looking roots from the trees.
It was great to get away, enjoy nature, do a little shopping, eat and sleep whenever. And of course have alone time together.
