Astoria Oregon

We decided that we need to get out of the apartment and view the sites around us. Chris has wanted to visit Astoria for years.

Astoria Bridge - It is the longest truss bridge in North America. It is 4 miles across the Columbia
river.




This was the first stop that we made in Astoria. We knew that Christian would love to ride on the Trolley. He even got to ring the train's bell.


Waiting for the train (trolley) to come.

Astoria Column
• Patterned after Trajan's Column, Rome, Italy
• Height: 125 feet
• Number of steps: 164
The Astoria Column commemorates the westward sweep of discovery and migration.

Christian pretty much ran up the stairs. Once we were at the top of the column, he didn't want to see the scenery. Christian just wanted to run down the stairs.


The next trip was Fort Steven's. We didn't get to see all the sites because we were having too much fun playing at the beach.



Here is my cute wild man in action


Our love signs. Chris wrote his love to me first and then I wrote Chris and Christian next. I sure love them both.

Hi Chris, sounds like things are going well up there. Glad to see that you're settling in and enjoying the benefits of living in a beautiful part of the country. I'll have to stop by and say "Hi" to you and the family if I'm traveling through the area. BTW, Heather does a great job on the blog !
