On Saturday we decided to make a last minute trip to Astoria, OR. It is about 1.5 hours from our house, and we headed out without much of a plan other than spending some quality family time together. It was drizzling all day, but other than that was pretty good weather. Unfortunately, our camera battery died shortly after we arrived, so we didn't get many pictures. Also, because we decided so last minute to go, some of the sites we wanted to see were closed. We still had a wonderful time, and will just have to go again to see what we missed.
One thing that we did find was an old armory that had been used from the late 1800's to just after WWII. It was really neat to wander freely through the structure. The boys loved running around and exploring as well.
We were going to hike to a lighthouse, but opted not to since it was pretty wet. Mike ran up and got a photo of it for us to look at later...
And for any fans of Goonies, we stopped by the Goonies House and snagged a picture before the camera died.
There were many more neat things to see and do in Astoria, but our trip was not as much to sight see as it was to spend some fun time together, and that mission was accomplished. Also, as you can see, we do have some interesting things to see out here, so it might be worth a visit... :D

Very cool pictures. I haven't seen Goonies in forever. Made me want to watch it again.
Glad to see you get some family time with Mike too. I know how precious that is.
I didn't know the Goonies house was in Astoria. I only know the town from Kindgergarten Cop.
Sometimes the best trips are spur of the moment, not so much planned, just family time. I'm glad you were able to have the time together!
