Welcome to Oregon!

Astoria is a cute little town!  So happy to see our friends, the Travers' family, who are graciously hosting us for a couple of nights here.  We enjoyed mass and lunch together, then headed to the Columbia River Maritime Museum with C.C. and Jenna.  
Here are Cassie and Jenna performing the dance of the blue-footed booby.  Beautiful choreography from both of the girls made this quite breathtaking.

My fashionista trying on the fishing gear that was bolted to the wall.  Would she let a few bolts deter her from fashion?  Not Cassie.

Catch of the day!

From the trolley (which I didn't get a picture of, but it's a trolley and it's over 100 years old), we got to see some of the 2,300 male sea lions who didn't get lucky this spring and are just hanging out here moping. They are quite vocal about their disappointment.


Also seen from the trolley -- the Goonies house (the cream-colored house at the top center-ish).  Posting this photo for Heather, who loves the movie.  xoxo


And then a stop for ice cream at Frite & Scoop (they will have french fries AND ice cream once they get approved to use the fryers -- a brilliant combination!).  It was Kristen's first day on the job, so of course her whole family had to have ice cream.  She provided excellent customer service!  Stop by there and have some ice cream.  It's yummy. I had mine in a krumkake cone!  Brought back memories of holidays in Sitka at the Horan's house.
