Coast Cabin's Manzanita Adventure Back In May

I mentioned a Manzanita, Oregon trip we had made back in May, but I didn't have a blog back then! I am finally posting our trip we made! It was a quick one nighter we did for my mom's Mother's Day/Birthday trip. I unfortunately did not get the days off I requested so I had to plan something last second, and this is what I came up with. My mom loves carrot cake, so naturally I bought the best one in town from Papa Haydn. If you live in the Portland area... You know. I then made the cake banner(Which she reuses! I love that). We (me, Wayne, mom & brother) went to Coast Cabins condo #7 The Laneda. It has two bedrooms, two baths, and two blocks from the beach. The condo is 1100 sq ft. The living room has 14 foot ceilings and fireplace is open to the kitchen. A sectional sofa and reclining chair, Chilean oak floors, with radiant in-floor heat throughout. Luxury amenities, Restoration towels and spa robes! This place was a dream. The perfect getaway, and I can say we will be back. My mom got to soak in the tub and relax, while me and Wayne watched the sunset.  It was probably one of the prettiest sunsets I have ever seen.
This is our Adventure!

Manzanita Birthday Adventures

We are back!!
 This photo is what I ended up doing for Wayne on his birthday. I said I would do something cute since I only got to see him for half an hour. Wine, Banner, and a love letter. <3


 This is a recap of the last couple of days at Coast Cabins. It was wonderful, and as I expected went by way too fast. The bed was the comfiest thing I have ever touched. So comfortable- I took pictures of all of the tags so I can recreate this heaven at home. I also got in the hot tub twice, and havn't done that in years! The weather was perfect, and there were so many different kinds of birds chirping. I felt like we were really in nature. We saw a bald eagle pick up a crow, and take it to its nest. That's the second bald eagle I have seen in a month! We picked drift wood from Manhattan beach to create some projects.. Possibly to sell on Etsy. Wayne built a fire which he tended to for hours (Pyro), While I lounged in the sun with a rum and cranberry juice(drunk). Wayne surfed, we drank lots of coffee, made smores, got veggie pizza, went to the organic market, watched Wild Russia, and The Lincoln Lawyer.
Something I must add is they had smore kits, organic chocolate, and fruit in the cabin upon arrival. Also offered us any kind of beverage we would like and said we could take any bottle to our cabin. The owners really created a paradise, and know how to make you feel at home.

I want to do this all over again, but for a week! So expensive... Maybe we can Glamp instead!? I could lounge in a hammock with a book for a week and bird watch.
