I'm sorry! I didn't get back online last night like I had planned.
I'm looking at Phosy's list and I'll fill you in on what we did:
1. We went to the Astoria Column, but the steps are being rebuilt so we couldn't go up. We did enjoy being there anyway, though.
2. We drove the Columbia River bridge many times just for the fun of it. Very cool.
3. We went to the Peter Iredale, but they were filming The Road for three days right there, so we couldn't see it. We managed to stop by on our last day though, and had great fun. It was very windy that day and the waves were very big!
4. We loved Fort Clatsop. We enjoyed the walks around the area and it was fascinating to see the reconstruction of their winter fort.
5. We didn't see the Goonies house, but we did drive around the town a lot and enjoyed looking at the houses. The town is very quaint.
6. We thought Fort Columbia State Park was very pretty!
7. We visited Cape Disappointment, where our daughter was greatly disappointed because at 6 she wasn't old enough to climb to the top of the lighthouse. Lots of tears at Cape Disappointment. [:o] But then we did a beach, and she was a happy girl. [sm=redhairsmile.gif]
8. We drove through Long Beach on a rainy morning, and we thought that it was definitely a drive back to the 60's and 70's. The Washington side is definitely a different sort of environment than the Astoria side. [;)]
9. We absolutely loved Fort Stevens State Park and we thought that when/if we get back, we would love to spend many days there doing the walks and enjoying the quiet serene beauty. The beaches there were our favorite.
And I'm sorry I haven't posted pictures--I'll change my avatar once in a while to show a bit of what we saw. [sm=icon_smile_blush.gif]
I'll post about our hotel next--it was incredible!
