When we head to the coast our favorite spot is Newport but we decided we wanted to visit Cannon Beach at least one more time while we live here so we drive out for the day last weekend.
Then we drove 20 minutes up the coast to see the Peter Iredale ship wreck at Fort Stevens. Super cool!
Then we explored Fort Stevens which is essentially an abandoned military base which was first built during World War I and used mostly during World War II. David was ecstatic to see all the camps and forts and hide outs and guns.
On our way home we swung back through Cannon Beach and stopped at Eccola State Park to watch a storm roll in. (I LOVE the ocean during a storm!) and to our surprise when we parked there was a herd of elk grazing on the grass. They absolutely did not care that we were there.
And as soon as I win the lottery I'm paying someone to fly me out to the abandoned Tillamook Lighthouse to explore. I'm dying to see it up close.
Oh, Oregon. You're not home, but I do love you.
