1 year anniversary trip!

day 1(may 10)

Since I blogged every day of our honeymoon, I thought I would for our one year anniversary trip too.
We arrived in Cannon Beach, OR, last night around 9:30 to our bed n breakfast style suite, called "the best room in the house". We checked at the actual hotel and then drove a block down the road. We went into a litttle adorable courtyard and then to our second story suite. We have a fireplace and a balcony with a view of the ocean. I love it because it feels like a house, not a hotel room. We also have a GIANT Jacuzzi tub. We made a quick run to Seaside to grab some dinner (everything in cannon beach was closed) and got some gas.

day 2(may 11)

This morning we actually slept in until almost 8! Well, jake did. I was up at 5.. go figure. But it was very relaxing. We're off to grab some breakfast now, toodles. Ok, back from breakfast. It was so yummy!  We went to pig'n pancake. It was super filling! After that, we headed to the beach to get some sunshine. It was kind of warm for a while, but the wind picked up so we headed back to the room. We took a looong nap which was wonderful. Then we headed to some shops in a little shopping area. We got some crazy pizza, then walked to a candy shop, where they made toffee with old fashioned machines. Jake hadn't ever seen it made, so we were both pretty excited. We bought waaaaaay too much candy. We walked around the shops for a few hours, then went back to the beach. I wore a dress and we both ended up running into the water. I went up to my waist, but jake chickened out when the water barely touched his knees. We both got pretty wet so we sat on the beach for a while and tried to dry off. It was warmer and there was less wind, so it was very relaxing. Definitely my favorite part of the weekend! We watched dogs playing in the surf, then went back to the room. We decided to go to a restaurant called the Irish Table for dinner. It was very very delicious!  Jake had steak and I had rock fish. We wanted desert but we were both SO full. 

day 3(may 12)

Last day... woke up around 8 and packed everything up. I was very sad to say goodbye to our beautiful little beach hut. We went to Lazy Susan's for breakfast. We split a fiesta omelette and a gingerbread waffle with pears, lemon topping, and whipped cream. It was the most delicious thing I've ever had! We headed back to the little candy shop and bought more truffles(LOTS of truffles). We have waay too much candy. wow. Anyhoot, we left Cannon Beach around 11 and made it back to Portland around 1, after a quick stop at REI.  The weekend was amazingly relaxing and I'm so happy we went! Sigh.. back to the real world now....
