Oregon Coast Trip: Friday (Pt 1.)

The next morning, the girls and I went onto a dock behind our hotel
and we got to see these guys: sea lions...they were huge!

Mom and Dad went for a walk the night before and heard them.

Then we drove over to Fort Stevens State Park to see the Peter Iredale, and the beach where my grandpa passed away.  Uncle blake says he remembers standing by this ship and watching the coast guard airplanes fly over head.

.  Grandma told me that there was a lot more of the ship showing when she was last there.  I have always wanted to go there, and I'm really glad that we did.

Smile Dad!...sheesh

We scoped out the beach while we were there, but most of the

shells and stuff were long gone, plus the tide was coming up again.

Here's a view of the Peter Iredale from where the water was at

that morning.

We left Fort Stevens and headed back to Astoria to meet up with

Uncle Todd.  Well...he accidentally took a long little detour and 

 so we ended up killing some time by checking out Astoria.

This look familiar?

How bout this?...okay, so the street above looked familiar

to me because it's in a movie!  And so is this school.

Astoria is where they filmed Kindergarten Cop.

They filmed the Goonies here too, but I haven't seen that.

So if you watch Kindergarten Cop, when they drive Mr. Kimball

away in the ambulance, this is the street that the ambulance

goes down. :)
