We had a four day weekend over President’s Day, so we packed up the motorhome in a rainstorm and headed to the beach! Somewhere on Hwy 26 I realized I had left the camera on the kitchen counter. I was so sad. This was Max’s 1st big trip and his first experience with the ocean, sand, camping… it was such a fun trip with the most amazing moments and no camera to capture the memories.

Friday was rainy and windy. We enjoyed a traditional camp-out dinner of hamburgers, relaxed a bit, then snuggled in for a movie and some popcorn!

Max and Mishka getting to know each other. They became good friends as the weekend went on…

Saturday was another day of rain with a few sun breaks. Welcome to the Oregon Coast! Josh, Max, and I went for the best jog on the beach. We ran about 3 miles both along the beach and in the sand. We took turns holding Max’s leash as he pulled us along when we were feeling tired!

The Picard Family surprised us around lunch time! They showed up with the trailer packed, ready for some fun! We walked into Cannon Beach to play in the sand, grab a latte, and of course most importantly a visit to the local candy-shop! I always het a piece of sea foam and this time I splurged on a caramel-dipped apple. That night we enjoyed a hanging by the fire and visiting into the late hours of night.

Sunday was bright, sunny, beautiful and time to go home… we decided we could not pass up such a perfect day at the beach so we stayed one more night!

Wish I had a picture of Max digging on the beach. He would dig and dig and then jump in the hole and lay there very proud of his efforts! Camera moment for sure.
