Cannon Beach, Oregon and Back to Portland Trip Part 2

You can see the barnacle line in the photo below. Anything with barnacle is usually under water when the tide is in.

Also, not mentioned in the previous post. We drove through a few smaller towns on our way back to Portland. If it’s not a touristy area there’s a chance there won’t be much to do online so for me using google isn’t all that helpful. That’s when I like to use Instagram. If there is something cool to see, chances are there’s a photo of it on IG. For example, we had the choice between one town or St. Helens. I put in #sainthelens and looked at what others had posted. I started seeing images similar to this.

So we went. And guess what? We were a few days too early. SADZZZ!

Little did I know that the parts of the first Twilight movie were also filmed in the area so we did a little scoping out of those locations. I didn’t take any photos because I didn’t want to be “that” person.
Addresses for Twilight filming areas in St. Helens.
Bella Swan House
184 S. 6th Street, Saint Helens, Oregon
Thunderbird and Whale Bookstore
260 S. 2nd Street Staint Helens, Oregon
Boated Toad Restaurant
330 South 1st Street, Saint Helens, Oregon
For a complete list of locations in that area you can check out Twi Adventures
We went into a few antique shops because I love to torture my husband.
I’m having HUGE regrets for not buying a few pieces. Like this light. $60. Totally could have talked her down.

And this two foot tall ginger jar. Yes, only $25. But keep scrolling… sad news
The store was actually closed for an emergency. Only in a small town would you leave a note explaining why…and your phone number. I’m sort of tempted to call to see if the jar is still available.

I also picked up a few milk glass vases for my neighbor Melissa if you are reading this, could you send me a photo of all three together? Thanks. She was gracious enough to look after Tobias James and Kate Middleton while we were on vacation. They definitely missed us while we were away.

I missed my bed.
