Cannon Beach, Labor Day Weekend

This Labor Day weekend, we decided to head south for the Oregon coast, where unbeknownst to many, there are beautiful stretches of sandy beaches. Heather and I took our beloved third family member, whom we call affectionately Lizzie Lou (Lizzie is her given name). We managed to find a pet friendly resort, called the Hallmark Inns and Resorts.

The 3-day weekend was a nice escape from the doldrums of the Seattle summer weather - sunny, clear and 70's. Yah, not a lot to complain about during the summer months.

We needed an excursion away from home and Oregon answered. We did a short hike at Ecola Point, walked the beaches with Lizzie, over ate (as usual) at two very good restaurants (Gower St. Bistro - French and Wayfarer - Seafood), and strolled the quaint town of Cannon Beach.

I also managed to pop my head in the Nike Factory store but to my dismay, did not find any shoes to fill my already robust athletic shoe collection.

Here are a few pics of the weekend:
