Manzanita (and sun!)

So the family (minus kitty) headed to Manzanita on the Oregon Coast for some much needed relaxation and sun (before it disappears again). Manzanita is a very small town just south of Cannon Beach.

Minnie very quickly made it her new home.

Yes, we are in hooded fleeces on the beach....I am very much looking forward to a WARM beach in the near future. But it was beautiful just the same. Minnie wasn't a big fan. The water was fun until she came out and realized that it was COLD. And sat down and shivered.

This is our beach house rental through a friend of a friend. Had a nice view of the ocean, was an easy walk to the business district, and was half a block from the ocean.


The great porch where Minnie decided to sun herself. That's the ocean in the background.


Arcadia Beach...had some amazing cliffs just off of the beach. A big surfer beach (if you're in a wetsuit).

Along our walk to get some coffee and pastries in the morning (hey, we're on vacation).
