Christmas Road Trip... Part 2.

What a Christmas... we opened gifts, ate great food and were very merry and blessed!! All said and done we had a fabulous time but soon we had to head back down the 101 freeway and start the trip home. Here's a little tip, if anyone can ever drive the Oregon coast.. DO IT! It is truly breathtakingly beautiful.

It was a amazing trip, first stop was Cannon Beach, Oregon, with beaches as far as you can see, crashing waves, and the best part these crazy huge rocks that line the coast on the beach. We traveled down the coast and decided to call it a night at the Surfrider Resort (Ha. resort is a bit of a stretch) but in the spirit of the adventure it was unexpected and fun!

The next day we continued down the 101 freeway and explored even more of the coast. We saw so many EMPTY waves, it was sad to drive past them without even the chance for a little surf... Summer road trip perhaps!! One of our favorite highlights of the second day was this little cove we stumbled upon while looking for a lighthouse (never really saw the actual lighthouse). We looked at the ocean and noticed hundreds of seals.. and the best part.. they were surfing.. we saw one little seal catch a wave almost all the way into the beach!! It was so cool to see animals in there element doing something we try to do but don't do nearly as well as these little pro surfer seals do!!

We saw so much of the coastline that it makes us want to get in the car and see where the road takes us! Hopefully we will do that soon again and of course we will share the photos!!

Cheers!
