Mini-Vacation to Oregon

This past weekend, the Wongs took their first family trip. Disneyland? Nah...Mackenzie's too young. Hawaii? Hmm....not ready to brave the 5-hour flight yet. So we decided to go to Oregon. What's there you may ask. We heard from a friend about a gorgeous little coastal town called Cannon Beach in Oregon. It was a quaint little town where it was basically just one main street, Hemlock that served as downtown. There were cute toy stores, art & gallery shops, good restaurants. If you are looking for a Starbucks at the corner, you're not going to find it here.

The picture on the right is taken at Cannon Beach. The rock is called, Haystack Rock (because of it's shape).

Here are some more pix of Cannon Beach (these are panos, which I have stitched together with a series of overlapping pictures)




We also went to take a look at Multnomah Falls, which is the 2nd tallest year-round waterfall in the nation.














All of this made for a very nice and relaxing mini-vacation. Mackenzie had a blast, and she was very good throughout the trip. Mom and Dad had to improvise a few times....like providing entertainment for her while waiting for our flight at the airport, giving her a bath with the available resources, and hotel room games. Can't wait until our next vacation!
