On the way to Astoria, we stopped in Cannon Beach (my favorite town along the Oregon Coast by far) and drove down sandy side roads, spying quaint little beach cottages.

My dream would be to own a tiny, cozy cabin near the beach to make the occasional escape from city life. The Oregon Coast in the Fall and Winter has overcast skies, a brisk wind, and is surrounded by a sense of quiet, except for the crashing waves. On Thanksgiving morning, the beach was nearly deserted…
