| Olivia was always looking for her pal Blueberry the cat |
Umm, are Toni & Candace working in there?
| We will definitely try this place on our next visit |
| Antz attempted to eat my donut |
I love phone booths!
| We stopped by the kid’s shoe store Clogs N’ More. I could’ve stayed there for hours but we had to hit the road. |
| Can you believe that after what happened in Santa Cruz Olivia asked if we could ride this guy?! |
| We took a crazy beautiful scenic highway with only one lane to get there but the view was worth the two hours of curves and slow trucks. |
        |
| We have arrived!! |
| This building is from the opening scene of the Goonies. We followed this film location tour |
Yep, I have no shame in my cheesy tourist antics
| Goonies never say die! |
| This creepy house belonged to George Conrad Flavel (those Flavel’s owned most of Astoria!) |
I am all about abandoned houses with a spooky story behind them. I didn’t tell Liv the gruesome details about this house but she said it looked haunted! Someone has now bought it and plans to restore it to it’s original beauty.
| Veda was like, it doesn’t scare me! |
| The town of Astoria is extremely charming but also has a creepy element I love. |
This store wins at common sense!
| Astoria-Megler Bridge connects Oregon to Washington state. |
| We had lunch at this restaurant on the pier over looking the harbor. |
| We could see Washington state from our table. |
   |
| It’s hard to feel sympathy for these guys since they knowingly bought a famous house. However, I do understand that people suck and are incredibly rude and ruin the experience for others! |
| I guess they got sick of people doing the truffle shuffle |
| Even with the tarp and signs, there were still a lot of people visiting the house. |
We were bummed but we still had one more stop before we headed back to Portland, the Astoria Column. A beautiful 125 foot tower with the history of Astoria drawn into a spiral column with an observation deck. However as we approached, the tower looked different. As soon as we made it to the top of the mountain I knew it, the tower was closed for renovations! D’oh!!
| Oregon is the land of millions of trees and bridges |
 |
| We drove around downtown Portland looking for the famous Portland neon sign |
Antz and Chris had a bro-date at a soccer game downtown. Story and I drank wine while the girls watched the Spongebob movie. It was a long but epic day.
