Now, if we'd been coming from the north this likely would not have worked out, but from the south one of the first places we saw upon entering Cannon Beach was the Stephanie Inn. I'd heard of it but had no idea where it was located. It didn't really matter as we couldn't afford to stay there even in the unlikely event they had a vacancy.
I turned into the driveway anyway.
Heading up to the front door, I knew I wanted to stay here. I had to stay here.
In the lobby were home-baked cookies, muffins and organic coffee (other side of room, not shown in this photo), available 24 hours.

The most amazing thing happened. The super-friendly woman at the front desk said there was one room available and not just any room but the large ocean-view one with the bay window that extended out from the rest of the rooms. It was as if it was her goal to make sure we stayed there. When I said that actually we couldn't afford it, she offered a discount that was too good to refuse. Besides we'd scrimped the night before and Glenn had said that he wanted to stay in a nice place after that. This was it!
