Oregon Coast–Day 6
We decided to head north for Day 6. Our first stop was Fort Stevens. There is a great beach there with LOTS of sand and even some small sand dunes. There is an old skeleton of a shipwreck from 1906 which is perfect for taking pictures.
We headed even further north, to Astoria. We crossed the BIG bridge into Washington State and drove to the parking lot at the base of Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. It was a bit of a hike but worth it.
Last stop was……ya, you guessed it—FOOD! The Baked Alaska in Astoria is a fun place right on the water. Big barges go past and it’s fun to watch the pilot boats go out and guide them along. It also doesn’t hurt that the food is great. Most of us ordered sea food, but of course Shauna had her grilled cheese.
OK–it seems like it’s been a long day but that was just lunch. We still have time for some boogie boarding/beach time and the fire on the beach. The kids were too tired for the fire so we sort of cheated and had them roast marshmallows on the BBQ.
Another great day! Sorry for the overload on pictures–I just couldn’t figure out which ones to delete (and NO this isn’t all of them. I actually have a LOT more.
