There is so much history in this part of the states. I loved driving through all the old fishing towns that have been around for 200 years or so. We drove through Astoria and not only is it a beautiful fishing town it's where "Goonies" was filmed. You know the "HEEEEYYY YOOOUUUU GUUUUUYYYYS" movie. I loved that movie growing up. What am I talking about I still do. While we were there we drove to see the local lighthouses. This lighthouse was built in 1898 and is still in use today. It along with the Cape Disappointment light house guides the mariners into the mouth of the Columbia.
This is an old carriage house which is now the gift shop for the lighthouse. The lighthouse keepers and there families lived days away from towns and supplies so they had to be self sufficient and keep gardens and animals.
Waklee and Reese had so much fun playing in the sand and swinging in their Dad's hammock.
Eric and Devin thought it would be fun to build a sandcastle and then watch the tide destroy it as it came in.
It was so beautiful at night we took a photo opportunity and posed for this picture. I had Devin's big coat on because it was freezing. Turned out pretty good huh. We had such a great time. Thanks Penny and Eric for inviting us.
