Cannon Beach

Yesterday Kellen and I had a whole girls days out and about. We started our day out with a shopping trip to Old Navy, they were having a huge clearance sale. I was able to get 2 fleece pullovers for $3.99ea. and 2 scarfs for $1.49ea. I was so excited, especially since the cold weather still has at least 4 more months up here so everything will still be useful. I think I might go back today and look at jeans and some shirts I saw. Then after Old Navy we grabbed coffee and headed out to Cannon Beach (where the famous Haystack Rock is from The Goonies). The ride there is gorgeous! You take the 26 and it winds through mossy wooded areas. Even with all many of the trees being bare since its winter they all still looked so green because of the moss, really cool! As we got closer there was plenty of snow on the ground ( the roads had been cleared by then). The drive was so nice, we talked, laughed, blasted music, it was great! We finally got to cannon beach and we browsed through all the cute coastal shops. We grabbed lunch at this cute restaurant called Fireside, yum! Then we made it down to the shore, it was freezing but it was so beautiful. The sun peeked through the clouds directly on haystack rock. I didn't realize how huge the rock was! When we got back home we watched the last episode of Dexter then headed out to Gaya Gaya for sushi (it was my first time) where we met up with Alicia ans Kathleen. I tried it, I hated it. The place has awesome reviews and everyone else liked it but it's just not for me. I had a roll stuffed with crab and then had bbq eel wrapped around it. I popped it in my mouth, began chewing and thought I was going to barf. The texture was disgusting, I didn't want to spit it out so I just swallowed, but since it wasn't chewed well enough I gagged and got rice stuck up my nose. Finally I was able to choke it down but that was the end of my sushi adventures. At least I can say I've tried it now. Anyways here are some picture from our day.
