Seaside and Cannon Beach

This last weekend Steph, Trev, Chris and I took a little weekend get away to Trev's parents placein Seaside. It was so fun. The weather was supposed to be yucky and rainy, but we were happily suprised to wake up on Saturday to the sunshine. It was about 70 degrees all weekend. We went down to Cannon Beach during the day and walked along the beach and played in the tide pools by haystack rock.

We drove down to Seaside late on Saturday night. Chris didn't get off work until 10:30 so we didn't leave until around 11. Around 1:30 or so we were in the middle of no where but getting close to Seaside. We got pulled over by a cop, who apparently was just bored. Trev was driving but luckily didn't get a ticket. However aparently he doens't have the best luck with the law. On Saturday Chris and Trev took the canoe out to drop the crab trap so that we could have some crab for dinner. After dropping the crab they were "pulled over" by a cop. Apparently it is against the law to canoe without life vest. When asked for their ID's Chris showed the cop his Military ID. They thought they were off the hook when the cop thanked Chris for his 3 years of overseas service... but no such luck. They were issued a ticket. And to make matters worse, when they went back that evening (with life vests on) they found that we hadn't even caught a single crab. Grrr....

Despite the run ins with the law we had a great time, playing at the beach in the day, eating some not so good for us food and having another trip to the beach once it was dark for a beach fire. It was a nice getaway for all of us and I was happy to spend the time with such great friends.
