Today was such a gorgeous day that we decided to head west to the coast. The Astoria Column is open again so we hit there first. One hundred and sixty-four stairs don’t sound like that many, but it feels like TONS! Will didn’t make it all the way up, he doesn’t like heights, but he enjoyed the view from the parking lot (which is still beautiful)!
I love this shadow pic
that’s Chris and Will down there (yeah, those tiny specks in the corner of the square)
and that dark blue speck to the left of the gift shop is our van… :o)
looking up the steps from the bottom
Will’s checking out the map
those two tiny specks waving up there are Chris and Andy
Then we headed south to Seaside to walk the shops and see the ocean. The beach was perfect! Sunny and no wind… we’ve been on the Oregon coast in July when it was colder than today!!!
the fog on the beach was so cool
we could see the moon all day
that tiny speck is the Astoria Column lit up for Christmas
After all the walking and exploring a really cool thrift store in town, we went to the Pig N Pancake for supper. The halibut fish and chips were fantastic!!!
All in all, it was a lovely day!

Wow! You know it's a gorgeous day when the sky photographs that blue! Still working on getting our famil down to the OR coast, it will happen, just funny, we've been across the country and we just can't seem to pull together a trip down to the coast!
Fun!
We adore Astoria!
So glad you guys had a fun day and I really like the pictures, they turned out really crystal clear. It's nice that you had a gorgeous day too. My favorite pictures are the ones with the fog on the beach.
We need to get our sons together again a couple more times before we move (shortly!!! YIKES!!!)
It really was a nice day at the coast!
