here is the bridge in Astoria that took us to Washington...and the teeny town that we ate lunch in, then took the 6 car barge across the body of water...
we took a detour in another teeny tiny town in Washington, about 20 miles from the Astoria bridge, and were on a 100 year old covered bridge, the Grays River covered bridge, to be exact. Just followed a little sign off highway 4 to this...what a cool find!
In Astoria, I had to hit the antique stores and drive around seeing the sights, drinking my favorite Stumptown coffee from a wonderful coffee shop in town. They were complaining in Astoria that it was boiling hot at their record setting high of 84 degrees ( a record for Astoria!) as my son and I were saying that we were escaping the 94 degree day in Portland!
well, more pics to come (the rest are on my phone...that I haven't found yet this morning!)...no, this isn't my son running from the police...they were after me!! Somewhere between Rainier and ??? I was passing a van that was going 40 miles per hour on a 55 mile per hour highway...and they called the next town and said that I was a reckless driver!!! when the police pulled me over, they asked what my hurry was...and I was totally truthful when I responded that I was looking for a restroom...
he laughed and gave me directions to a wonderful little outhouse with no running water...oh...the joys of small towns and road trips!!!(however... no ticket for me!)
stay cool! have a great day!

You, a reckless driver? Nooooooooooooooooooooo, they must have been talking about someone else!!
Your story cracked me up, looking for a restroom (gotta remember that one :))
Glad you and Alex had such a great day, any good finds come home with you?
