Cannon Beach, Tillamook, and Lincoln City!

On the way to Cannon Beach we spotted this natural spring fountain on the side of the highway.  The water is amazing... and free! :-)
Cannon Beach









Lincoln City Beach... with the sun was shining!








We had an amazing drive from Portland to Lincoln City Oregon.  We stopped by a cute little town called Cannon Beach and played at the ocean for a short while.  It was quite rainy, so our stay didn't last long.  Our next stop was Tillamook, Oregon.  We of course had to stop at the Tillamook cheese factory to sample some delicious cheese!  On our way out of Tillamook we spotted some Elk on the side of road... that was pretty amazing!  We are now relaxing in the splendid town of Lincoln City! :-)

Multnomah Falls... amazing!


  Hiking up to the top of the Falls!




A family portrait in front of the falls... still a long hike ahead!

 Getting a little tired
 These hills were steep!

 Cute twins... and by the way, Ava hiked the whole way herself!
 Family portrait just before the falls!


 WE MADE IT!!!!!!


 Beautiful! (and Lucky) :-)
Uh oh.... picture taken just seconds before Lucy hit the ground... :-(
Poor Lucy.....



The girls got to stand under a trestle while the train thundered over them.... It was so unbelievably loud!
 I love the look on their faces!

Underground tunnel.. very neat!  (And Chris wants to add: "and Maddie driving us up the walls." LOL)
 Ava and Maddie were screaming at the top of their lungs and listening to their echo. 

And, within minutes of getting back in the car...  :-)
