Astoria and Fort Stevens

My parents came the first part of June. We took them to visit Astoria and also Fort Stevens.

Grandpa giving Christian one of his famous bear hugs!

The first thing we did was to take the trolley to see all the historical sites of Astoria

Astoria Bridge - It is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America.

We stopped and visited Fort Stevens. When I told Christian that we were going to visit Fort Stevens, Christian thought we were going to visit his uncles house. It took me a while, to register why he kept saying uncle Steven.

Bridal Veil Falls and Cape Disappointment

Chris' sister and her children came to visit us. Christian loved having his cousins here. We took them to visit the Waterfalls.

Bridal Veil Falls

Cape Disappointment - no Disappointment here! The only disappointment that we had was that we were unable to go to the top of the Lighthouse due to us wearing our flip flops! I wished I knew that it was against coast guard rules.

Fun cousin time at the beach. The only thing that would make the trip better was if Chris could have come with us. He was greatly missed!
