A Beautiful Day in Astoria!!!

Yesterday we took the kids up to Astoria. I think Coulter asked, "What is Astoria?" about 10 times on the way up there. They had a great time. Bob and I had a great time. In general, it was a wonderful family day. This picture is the Astoria Column, www.astoriacolumn.org It tells the story of the Pacific Northwest (according to history in the early 1900's) all around it as it winds up the column. Note there are no Native Americans depicted before Lewis and Clark arrived. I'm not sure what is going on with my connection out here but I am having difficulty getting the picture of the column loaded....we'll see.

We also went on the street car that runs the length of town. It was cute and for a dollar you can't beat the price. There were a couple of old guys telling us the history of Asoria and fun little trivia bits.

More on Spring Break later.....
