The Beach

On our Pacific Northwest Adventures Bucket List has been spending a weekend on the coast...and fortunately we were able to make this happen.  We were blessed with beautiful beach weather, and had a few good friends from Utah join us too.



Beautiful Cannon Beach

Olympic National Park

We have ONE month left in Portland, so we are doing our best to pack in some last minute Pacific Northwest adventures. The Dodgions-Three (soon to be Four) loaded up the car and headed 3 hours north to Olympic National Park in Washington for a little R & R in our own private cozy cabin in the woods.  It was dreamy.


A chilly morning dip on our beach, looking for baby sharks.  Ollie couldn't wait to play in the water.


All that swimming and hiking makes one hungry toddler.

He lasted in that backpack for about 2 minutes...

...and did this ("by myself" - his new favorite words) the remaining 2 miles. 




Stunning beauty...

Another stunning beauty (no, not the one on the left...)

We took our paddle boat 20 minutes across the lake to a great park with a sandbox full of trucks - just for O.T!


It was a perfect weekend we will remember forever...
