Happy birthday to me. I had a really awesome day yesterday.
It started out a little rough because my alarms didn't go off and I didn't wake up until a little after 5. I wasn't too stressed because I only had the one student. I managed to get all my morning stuff done in time to start the meeting at 6. We got through class and finished around 12:30. At that point B and I headed out to Astoria.
What a wonderful drive! It was nice through the mountains, then along the coast. We could both live out here. Very much like my old town. We got to Astoria about 3 and went exploring. We are right across the street from the Goonies house. Saw that and got some stuff at the Goonies store. Our hotel is beautiful. The view from our room of the columbia river is incredible. The weather is perfect too. Rainy and overcast. We love it.
We took a drive downtown around 6 and had sushi for dinner then explored downtown. We saw the county jail, the Flavel house, and a giant 640 year old tree. Then we drove around and ended up at the Astoria Column. 125 feet in the air, 162 steps to the top. I did it and feel pretty good about that!
Headed back to the hotel and walked to the pier behind us where Rogue Ales has a public house. I had a hazelnut float which was pretty good. B had tater tots and a fruit salad cider. We got back to the hotel around 10 and collapsed. Now for some breakfast.
Then we are off to the seaside aquarium, the film museum, and some outlet shopping.
