Cannon Beach 2011 - Part 4 of 4

 This was our last day in Cannon Beach.  It's always sad to leave a fun vacation.  Lulu told us she misses our Cannon Beach home.  Here Mark and Levi are enjoying some breakfast at the table.
 Here is Lulu enjoying some cartoons.
 After we got all packed up and checked out we headed into town for one last time.  We enjoyed some shops and some more coffee.  We also enjoyed going into the many art galleries in town and looking at all the local art work.  We went into this one particular small gallery and we were in awe with the paintings.  All of the sudden this little old man came out from the back room and greeted us. He was the artist of all the paintings we were looking at.
 He had a little harp for the kids to play and he showed them his paining corner.
 I fell in love with this painting below.  The colors and the intricate details of this town are what I just love.  So, we bought it and now we are going to get it framed for our living room.  We also bought a painting for the kids room and one for our bathroom.  His artwork is really fun and unique.

How fun to give your family the same experiences of your youth. The circle of life.
