Astoria Excursion

Astoria is on the south shore at the mouth of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. The city is served by the Port of Astoria which is a deep-water port.

Two days ago, we traveled from Sequim, Washington to Astoria, Oregon. In Astoria, We met up with some family, got settled into our hotel, and enjoyed an evening swimming, pizza and a movie.

In the hotel, the boys have spent a lot of time watching the boats (tugboats, towboats, oceanliners and huge fishing boats) coming underneath the bridge that is outside our window. Our hotel is right at the mouth of the Columbia River right before the ships go into the Pacific. While the boys enjoyed watching the boats and birds, I enjoyed watching some otters play right at the base of the bridge.

Beloved always does a fabulous job finding great places for us to stay on our trips. He used to make reservations for 100's of Men when they had a "mission" in other places. So, I think he is quite a pro at just finding great spots for our little family to stay!
