June 12th
We decided to take a day trip up to Astoria - taking Highway 30 along the Columbia River- and JJ was available to come with us - we had a great day!
We drove through Ridgefield, St. Helens, Rainier and several other small towns and stopped at various places to take pictures and just get out of the car!! We spent some time in Astoria watching the tankers navigate the channel in the river and since we weren't ready to eat lunch - drove back through Seaside. We walked out to the beach through the tall grass and enjoyed the gorgeous Oregon coastline and then headed on down Highway 26. Lunch at Camp 18 - great food and an array of logging-related historic artifacts and artwork next to a beautiful stream in the woods - win/win? YEP!
