Heading North on Highway 101 10.29.11

For today's post I thought I would take you on a trip on US Highway 101 from Lincoln City, Oregon to Cannon Beach, Oregon. If you have never experienced this coastal highway, I would highly recommend you put it on your must see list. The highway goes from Washington through Oregon and then California. It is full of beaches, sweeping vistas and charming little towns. This past weekend my mom and I drove from Lincoln City to Astoria on 101. It was the perfect day, with the sky a beautiful shade of blue. So naturally I had to stop at the viewpoints and parks along the way to snap some shots :o). Here are a few of my favorites (more to come tomorrow):
