valentine's day just happens to be my all time favorite holiday
and we sure did have a festive one around here.
there were gifts, flowers, cards, chocolates,
valentine themed outfits,lots of cupcakes and
even heart shaped food...
already counting down the days til next year.

cannon beach

we spent the weekend in cannon beach and
had the best time relaxing, hanging out at the beach,
fishing (thad), window shopping (jz & me) and enjoying the sunny
weather and awesome sunsets.


low rider

day 2-dawn patrol

while thad got in some fishing, jackson and i hit the beach.
jackson could have stayed down there all day, crawling,
climbing, and eating sand in his pjs...

the grey whale motel- our home away from home

stairs to the sand

field trip-astoria & seaside

we drove north to astoria to check out the goonies movie locations,
climb 164 steps to the top of the astoria column,
spend about 3 minutes in washington,
then stop in seaside for lunch and
take jackson on his very 1st merry-go-round ride...
a trip highlight and lifelong memory for sure.
