We did a lot while Rick and Cara were here! This is the last set of pics from their visit:
We drove out to the coast and stopped at Astoria
 |
| this little guy was by the side of the road with his mother |
The Astoria Column Historical Monument is up on a hill with a fantastic view of the area. It depicts the discovery and settlement of the Columbia River. We climbed the circular staircase to the top....164 stairs!
 |
| This bridge connects Oregon to Washington |
 |
| These are views from the top of the column |
 |
| Rick and Cara |
Leaving Astoria we headed south to Ft. Clatsop State Park and saw this eagle by the side of the road!
Fort Clatsop is where Lewis and Clark wintered before heading back east.
From there we drove to Sea Side for lunch and a stroll to the beach
 |
| Lunch at Normas was delicious! I had a combination seafood plate. Yum! |
 |
| We had to take Rick and Cara to Tillamook |
Back at their hotel room in Woodland I took this pic off their balcony
Rick and Cara's last morning we checked out the waterfront in downtown Portland....
Went to Voodoo Doughnuts...
And had lunch at Kells Irish Pub before they had to leave for the airport.
 |
| lots of international food for the lunch crowd |
