The Beach
Vahid took me to the Oregon coast (my first time there! I think, I might have gone when I was little but I don’t remember) a week or so ago. We visited Cannon Beach and Seaside (Seaside is scummy) and I have some pictures to show for it. I also had Taffy but most of that was gone by the time we got back.
There was a little girl playing in the water (which was freezing! I found out later as I put my foot in the water) and making the seagulls fly into the air.
It being Oregon there wasn’t anywhere that didn’t have some trees. It’s not something I’m used to seeing on the beaches of California.
While walking along the beach (holding hands and being all gross) we saw a seagull terrorizing a family. It would swoop down near their heads and land just a few feet away from them and charge forward and repeat the whole process. The little boy and girl would raise their hands and scream every time it swooped down. I tried to get a picture of the attack process but this was all I could get (the little boy is in blue plaid):
Cannon beach was a lot of fun. It was full of Taffy and Ice Cream shops. (You better believe I brought home some taffy!) After spending some time there we ventured on over to Seaside. It was like light and day.
Or Quaint and Tacky. In Seaside we spotted several member of the new “Seaside Shore” show that I’m sure will be a hit to about a hundred people in Oregon.
This “Aquarium” features animals that are all alive! And you can feed the seals! There will also be a guy screaming seal noises at included at no extra cost!
While in Seaside I also took the scariest picture you can imagine. I’ll preface with a little story about a bird I call Bob. Bob is a seagull, a seagull who has a pessimistic outlook on life. Bob doesn’t like you. If you were to try and drive your car on the road where Bob is standing, he will play chicken with you and you will lose and have to drive around him. Bob will follow you from one Beach to another harassing you and your car the entire time. Bob just wants to see you die a slow horrible death. And this is Bob:
Enjoy your day and don’t have too many nightmares about BOB.
Yay for Cannon Beach! We can’t wait for our vacay there in July (and to see you guys, of course).

Bob? Meet my foot.

Why is that little boy wearing trunks while the rest of the people in that shot are all wearing coats, hats, and sweatshirts? What the hell is going on here?!

I still have nightmares about Bob, with his beady little eyes.
I think I was at Cannon Beach when I was younger. I just remember taking an Oregon vacation and being on the beach. Then we went whale watching. Or, it could’ve been some other beach…I don’t remember.
But I do remember seagulls. They were vicious. Maybe I met Bob’s great-grandfather.

Angella: Cannon Beach was a lot of fun! I’m sure it will be even more fun when it’s not raining and cold and icky!
Sybil Law: I’m pretty sure you just started a war.
Elizabeth Kaylene: It wasn’t that cold as long as you didn’t go in the water. Kids want to run around in bathing suits at the beach. I know I would if I was seven.
Vahid: Bob will fuck you up.
Becky: Ha! When you come and visit we will go to the beach (it’s only about an hour from here.)

Wow, those photos are amazing. And I’m *so* having nightmares about that Seagull. (shudder)
