Saturday was epic: we headed to Cannon Beach with a few of our friends to take advantage of the amazing weather - 61 and clear - almost unheard of at the coast. Here in the Pacific Northwest during the month of October, you're hard-pressed to find a ray of sunshine or an empty beach. It was absolutely breathtaking. We stayed on the hidden bluffs overlooking a private beach with trail access to the sandy shore where I skipped in the sand like I was 10 years old. I experienced so many zen moments followed by utter joy that I practically cried at the beauty of it all. Yes, there is a small hippie living in a corner of my soul. After a glorious sunset and a delicious family dinner, we shared whiskey-laced stories under a star-studded sky 'round a blazing fire - a perfect evening and one to remember always.
