Visual Tuesday: Cannon Beach

Wow! Last week was a busy one. Can’t believe it’s been a whole week since I posted last.

Yesterday was my grandson’s 7th birthday. To celebrate, the family indulged in a day at the coast. Grandson had requested a visit to an aquarium, so we spent a delightful morning at the Seaside Aquarium. It’s a small operation, but a perfect introduction to marine life for young children. Grandson and his siblings marveled at the tanks of critters, squealed with delight at the opportunity to touch starfish and anemones in the “touch tanks” and…highlight of the day…forgot their dislike of all things slimy in their excitement to throw tidbits of raw fish to the seals! I don’t know how many times Dad and Grandpa went back to the window to buy more food for the seals, but the kidlets enjoyed tossing every slimy morsel they could get their fingers on. (Fortunately for moms and grammies who worry about such things, the aquarium also had easy-access hand washing available *lol*)

After the aquarium we made our way to Cannon Beach for a lovely picnic lunch, sand castles, kite flying, and frolicking in the warmest water I’ve ever experienced on the Oregon Coast *bliss*

And so…in honor of our day at the beach…I give you a lovely picture (which I did NOT take…click on it to follow it back to its source) of Haystack Rock, the defining feature of Cannon Beach:
