Happy 4th of July!

With the past couple of weeks being so busy, we decided we wanted to get away for a few days to relax and enjoy the 80+ degree weather that was in the forecast. This year for the 4th we headed down to Astoria, Oregon. While there we did a little sightseeing and went to Fort Stevens State Park, Fort Canby State Park, climbed to the top of the Astoria Column, and sampled some of the local breweries including Rogue and the Wet Dog Cafe and Astoria Brewery.

While on the coast we decided on the fourth that we would also check out the local festivities in Seaside before heading to downtown Astoria in the evening to enjoy the local parade, watch the beautiful sunset and relax.

The fireworks show was great and it was cool to be able to experience the small town festivities this year. I hope you all had a great 4th of July!
