A mini vacation

We took a little weekend vacation to Cannon Beach, Oregon; three glorious days where the rain only happened when we were inside anyway, the food was great, the hotel quiet, the sunsets sensational and the temperatures almost balmy. It was wonderful. We hiked in the hills, walked on the beach, poked around in all the little 'artsy' shops, took a bazillion pictures and added two more lighthouse visits to our list. Weekends should be like this.

Mark has renewed his determination to win the lottery.

The bridge is at Astoria and over the very end of the Columbia River. Our vantage point was the Astoria Column, high on the hill overlooking the town.
