Cannon Beach makes CNN's list of top romantic places

It's always exiting to see our backyard listed in national press - like
today's article on the Top Romantic Places.

Rolling on in number 7 is Cannon Beach, Oregon, which is better known to locals as a good place to attempt cool-water surfing than a romantic getaway.

Maybe because it's so close to home we take it for granted, but there are plenty of places I would've listed that the author didn't...like Tahiti, or Fiji, both of which are a bit more exotic than, say, Barbados at number three..or La Jolla, California at number nine.
