Now that Fall is well and truly here ... I'll tell you about our Summer

Part 6 of 10

Survived an Intense Heatwave
with a day trip to the Coast
Tait's first Ocean experience

Tim was away again on a work trip and Portland's temperatures SOARED ... we got to 109F one day and for the rest that week they hovered over 100F. It was pretty amazing to feel relief with a 97F day!

It was a tough week. It's always tougher when Papa isn't home, but this week Tait was teething and none of us were sleeping all that well due to the heat.

In looking at the forecast I picked the hottest day to plan a trip out to the coast ... to a favourite spot ... Cannon Beach. We left early and it was good that we did. If we were even 30 minutes later we would have had a very hard time finding a parking spot. It seems we weren't the only ones with the idea to escape the heat. Out there it was a mild 70F something day ... PERFECT!

Here's some pics...
