After we picked out Jonathan's puppy (see previous post) near Clatskanie, we headed over to Seaside and then down to Cannon Beach. It was an impromptu trip to begin with, so we didn't have any big goals, just go have fun before we ran out of time and daylight.
Which we did.
At the Astoria Column. We found out AFTERwards that you can buy little balsa wood airplanes at the giftshop and fly them from top. DANG IT!!
It seems like a crazy endeavor, but in elementary school I went on an overnight school field trip (I think with grades 5 & 6) to Astoria. We slept overnight in another school's gym, went to Fort Stevens, and climbed the Astoria Column. Doesn't that seem totally nuts to have a bunch of kids sleep overnight in a gym? I don't remember much, but I'm pretty sure I had fun then too...
I was very brave and went to the top.
This is me saying "EEEEEE! I'm totally fine. Really!"
gorgeous views

I'd like to match Gracie up with a greyhound some day... she is stinking FAST.
And for you Pioneer Woman fans... I think of her Charlie (and now her new Walter) when I see our Bailey's ears go nuts... and they ALWAYS go nuts at the beach.
The ever lovely Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.
