Cannon Beach Trip Day 2

I woke up to this!

I think they must have upgraded me.

After taking in the view, I headed off to find food and finish some Christmas shopping.

Many restaurants were closed, but I found Oros’s Fireside Restaurant to be open. I had a steak omelet. (A splurge).

Aside from the very lovely log cabin interior, it had this really nice stone exterior. A sign on the building said:

Original log cabin restaurant built on this site in 1925 by Paul Bartels for his sister Marie. He was a stonemason who built most of the historic beach rock fireplaces in town.

The Hallmark Resort and Spa is a bit of a walk from the Cannon Beach main drag, but I walked the length of the drag and arrived at this park where I sat and watched the ocean for a while.

On the way back, I picked up some Christmas gifts in a sock store and a houseware store.

I also grabbed this picture of Haystack Rock poking above a hotel I passed on my way back.

I walked down to the beach for some official beach time. Look at the supports added to the motel’s structure:

Here’s a nice shot of the way the rooms are positioned for maximum view. You can see a few people enjoying said view.

I stopped on one of the lower decks and when I looked over, I saw some local wildlife.

Visual evidence for Matt that this place provides maximum pillows. (Matt prefers one pillow, no matter the size of the bed.)
