A visit to Cannon Beach

Much needed "Team Williams" family updates... coming your way!!! Isn't it funny, when we have the most to blog about, is also when I have no time to blog! I will do my best to update everyone on all that we have done over the last month (or more) over the next couple days.


Most recently... a fabulous, albeit too short (3 days), trip to Cannon Beach, OR. It had been a several years since Dan and I went, and it was Quincy's first real visit to the ocean. The last two hours of the long drive there, Quincy whined that he wanted to go back home. The last two hours of the long drive home, he whined that he didn't want to go home and demanded we return to our cottage and the beach. We all wished we could have stayed longer (and I wished the weather had been just a little bit nicer!) Our favorite parts of the trip:


  • A visit to the Tillamook Cheese factory! Quincy loved watching all the conveyor belts and cheese moving from one place to another

  • Ice Cream! Ice Cream! Ice Cream!



  • Playing in the sand, making castles... and then DESTROYING said castles





  • Time to relax together as a family


  • Lots of walks on the beach




  • Our little beach cottage, just a block from the beach
  • Playing in the waves, the cold Oregon waves






  • Seeing the starfish in the tide pools of Haystack Rock

  • Watching all the colorful kites in the sky
