Austin was so cute carrying his own suitcase onto the airplane. He loved that suitcase!!
We stayed there for 7 fun filled days. We rented a beach house and shared it with us, my parents, and sister Jamie, 1 Aunt, 2 Uncles, and 5 cousins. Yes, there were 14 of us in that house. Thank goodness it was large!
We walked to the beach everyday. Austin called it "My Ocean". He loved it! He didn't like the waves though. Oregon is definitely NOT a swimming beach, which we knew, so we enjoyed other aspects, like building sandcastles, finding starfish, walking and running in puddles, sitting and enjoying the fresh air.
We went to Tillamook Cheese Factory. Great times, yummy ice cream! My cute cousins came with us.
We also spend a day in Seaside which is the next town by Cannon Beach. They have a fun boardwalk.
This is also the end of the Lewis & Clark Trail! What a view they got when they reached the ocean!
Fun Cousins
A Carousel, which Austin enjoyed.
We also went to Haystack Rock. It was incredible. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed playing in the sand.
Austin loved to lay and roll around. Needless to say, he never was completely free from sand until we got home and bathed him a few times!
Jamie was lucky enough to ride with my Uncle Dave from their condo back to our house on his motorcycle! Cruising on the coast, they looked very cool :)
My cute parents and Jamie Cakes!
We also spent a day driving and viewing different sites along the coast. We stopped in Oysterville which is a town that thrived in the 1800s. The houses are still there. The trees were huge!
We also stopped in Astoria and walked up all of the 164 stairs to the huge Astoria Column. It was an absolutely beautiful site. Now remember I was 8 months pregnant and for sure showing it. So I would get these stares from people, and one said "Wow, Good for you!" Yes, I know. I'm just glad it didn't put me into labor! The view from the top was definitely worth it. Austin hated being up there on the top. He cried the whole time. So we took pictures fast and headed back down.
Austin loved playing in the sand with my cute cousins Gracie and Rayona. They took good care of him while we were there.
When it was low tide we could walk out to these rocks and see the amazing starfish.
Wedding Time!
We had a huge BBQ at our house the night before the wedding. We had fun decorating and talking with family.
The Wedding!
A wedding on the beach? Why not! It was a gorgeous day...almost too gorgeous. We were baking in the sun during the ceremony. This was the set up. It was basically right there on the beach. There were so many people around enjoying the day.
Cute Paul & Cally
Wedding Dinner/Party!
The Wedding Dinner was amazing! The food was great, the location was perfect. What a great night we had talking with family and enjoying great food/drinks (I think we were the only ones that did the alcohol free version of the drinks :)

We had such a fun time! Austin was great the whole time, except for the nights. He is not a good sleeper when we are away from home. He would wake up at 5:30 or 6. It was crazy! So we didn't get much sleep. We stayed up late playing games and having fun, so the early mornings weren't very fun. Thanks mom and dad for taking him on walks while we could sleep in a little.
We certainly loved our vacation. We will definitely go back to Cannon Beach!

I love the little glimpses at your pregnant belly! Good luck during the last little while.
I'm glad to know that 6 is now too early at your house, because at our house we celebrate when the little one sleeps until then! It's funny how things change (and will change again for you, soon).
Looks like an amazing trip that I would love to take some-day!! Awesome!
I'm not exactly sure of your due date, but know you must be close. Good luck with everything!!
