Seattle and Cannon Beach 2012

We flew from Kauai right to Seattle for a visit with David's parents.  It was Max's first trip to the Northwest and we were excited for him to have a full week with his Grammy and Opa!  While there, we celebrated a belated birthday for Grammy with a lunch out at Shenanigan's.  We visited with some of David's friends, who happened to be home for the holidays.  We also got a little creative with paints!  This was a hands-on, home-made gift for Grammy.

As per tradition, we also traveled to Cannon Beach, Oregon, which is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from David's hometown.  This is a Behr favorite for the holidays and has definitely become one of my favorites as well.  Haystack Rock and the shoreline of the Pacific Northwest are absolutely gorgeous, whether it's mid-December or September.  I've seen it both ways and no matter what the season or the weather, I'm in awe.

Thank you, Grammy and Opa, for sharing such a fun week with us!  It's always busy, no matter how many of us are visiting, so we appreciate your hospitality and your patience.  Max really enjoyed learning from you both and has a few new tricks to remember his visit.  We love you!
