After Vancouver, the plan was to drive up to Astoria to see the Goonie house and then drive down the coast to Lincoln City. The country side is absolutely gorgeous. We went over lots of big bridges and the weather, while overcast, was still beautiful. At Astoria, we parked the car, walked up the private drive, T.J. and Tyler did the truffle shuffle, we took some pictures and got back in the car. It took all of ten minutes. Then we stopped for lunch and the kids got quarter machine prizes. Then it was back in the car to drive to Lincoln City. It was about four-five hours of driving (easily), and not how I would have planned to spend the day. My goal is to watch the Goonies before the summer's done.
We also had a chance to revisit the Newport Aquarium. We spent the whole trip trying to convince Alex that he has indeed been to the Oregon Coast before, and the Aquarium. He was just too young to remember. He is very adamant that he has not been to the Oregon Coast before and that this was his first time going there.
