Dad & Joe came to visit (on their way to Hawaii to see Kaytie & Christian!) and we followed the Lewis and Clark Trail to Astoria, OR.

We climbed the 164 stairs of the 125 foot tall Astoria Column to see the panoramic view of the Columbia River meeting the Pacific Ocean. Gorgeous!

The Astoria-Megler Bridge is the longest continuous truss bridge in North America (over 4 miles) – and it’s cool looking.

We also visited the Fort Clatsop National Memorial (Lewis & Clark National Historical Park) and then drove south to Cannon Beach, where Dad & Joe really got into the photographing.

We even went downtown and saw Teresa at her job in the Fox Tower (in the heart of downtown Portland). This turned out to be her last full day! The next day the company had to “let go” 5 temps - so she came home early and we went on a hike!

That weekend Mom, Becca, and Ben stopped by on their way to Hawaii, so we saw some of the gorgeous waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge with them.
