Multiple Blessings at the Beach

Got my walk in on the beach this morning, cleaned up then hit a few shops in Cannon Beach, including a fab wine and cheese shop where I picked up dill goat cheese, petite bris, and rustic crackers which made a yummy snack for lunch.

After my cheese indulgence we took a drive to the south.  Steve knew of some hot spots for driftwood, which meant scouring down a hill in Nehalem to score some choice pieces.  We made a pit stop later down the road where I spied a buoy - score!!

During one of our stops, we found a blue plastic tube hidden in a guardrail. Inside was a Nevada pin and a note with dates and usernames listed.  Weird but then I realized it must be related to the GPS geocaching game.  How funny that we accidentally stumbled on to a treasure!  We added the date and our names, put it back in the tube, and returned it to the hiding spot.

Trunk full of treasures we continued on, stopping at Flamingo Jims in Rockaway Beach to browse the tourist items and outdoor garden art. Next stop was a marina to stroll the slips, view the boats and pick up crab. Last stop was Pirate Cove in Girabaldi for an awesome seafood  dinner before returning to Arch Cape.

Long day!  Been sleeping like a baby due to beach walks and lots of activity.  Tomorrow will bring a trip to Seaside for a rematch of mini-golf and to hit the vintage stores.

Best news of today was God answered our prayers and little sis is in the clear with her health!
