Our trip to Cannon Beach

As we mentioned in a previous post, we decided to celebrate our 10 year anniversary a weekend early and drove down to the Oregon Coast at the recommendation of our friends. WOW! They could not have recommended any place better than The Stephanie Inn in Cannon Beach. It was absolutely amazing!

The above pictures are the backside of The Stephanie Inn (taken from the beach) and G enjoying the fabulous view of the beach and Haystack Rock from our patio.  It was so relaxing and peaceful!

We arrived Saturday afternoon and immediately went to the beach.  It was such a sunny day.

A bit chilly but the clear blue sky and sunshine more than made up for it! 

We checked into our room and found a lovely anniversary present waiting for us . . .

They knew we are expecting as I had to book the prenatal massage ~ how sweet is that????

Once settled, our massage therapists came to our room to get us for our massages ~ they were Heavenly!

We were so relaxed.  After getting cleaned up, we enjoyed the complimentary wine (I had sparkling cider!) and appetizers in the library/game room before heading back to the beach where my crazy hubby decided he had to go for a swim ~ BRRRRRRR!  I was content to stay on the beach and take pictures ;-)

 We had dinner at the dining room in the Inn that evening and the food was so yummy.

As with everything else, the service was above and beyond.  On our dessert plate, they had written Happy Anniversary in chocolate ~ we loved all of the personal touches!

After dinner, we enjoyed the complimentary night caps (more sparkling cider for me!) and chatted with a lovely couple from Bellevue (the husband works for Merrill Lynch so we had lots to chat about).

That night, we watched a great movie Social Network about Facebook.  Okay, so I fell asleep halfway through it but G was willing to watch the second half with me again in the morning ~ such a great hubby!

After enjoying the incredibly yummy, complimentary breakfast, we spent more time on the beach.

 Once again, my handsome and somewhat crazy hubby decided to go for a swim while I took pictures.

While we were there, we decided to try and get a couple "belly shots" of our little Guppy.  Sorry to disappoint but I still don't have much of a belly ~ oh well!  Gotta love the background though ;-)

It was hard to leave as we had such a wonderful time together there, so much so that we decided to return for my birthday weekend and already booked the exact same room!  The kiddos were happy to see us though when we returned and as much fun as we had, home is always great too!

It was just so nice to spend the time together reflecting over the past 10 years of marriage.
