Ryan and I spent the weekend in Astoria. We started out with lunch at Wet Dog Cafe. The beer wasn't all that great (actually pretty bad), but it had a great view of the river and the Duck's football game playing on ALL of the TVs.
After lunch we ventured up to Astoria Column, where we climbed to the top to enjoy this view.
By then the sun had come out in full force. A great fall afternoon.
Astoria Column. Looks just like it did when I was a kid. Happy to see they continue to preserve it.
Ryan's all time favorite movie is the Goonies, so a trip to Astoria would not be complete without a visit to the Walsh House.
The highlight of the trip was our visit to Fort George Brewery. The customer service was AMAZING! The beer was also AMAZING! After several samples, we enjoyed some wood-fired pizza and called it a night.
This morning we were up bright and early to run the Great Columbia Crossing 10K. We both finished. Ryan's a natural borne athlete, so it is no surprise he finished. Me on the other hand, I was/am a nerd. I am not an athlete. So, I am super proud that I ran the entire way and finished! The hill on the bridge was a KILLER!!!
Participating in the run is the only way a pedestrian can cross the bridge. Pretty cool way to experience it.
looks like an amazing time! and tell ryan i like his 'stache.
