little town with wooden clap board houses located on a hill. We stopped
acouple of times just to watch the ships and local boats. The pilot boat
came out to the ship below to help him get to the dock. They threw a
rope ladder down for him to climb up. If you can see, he is about half
way up the rope ladder at this point. The large bridge you can see in the
background on these pictures goes overt he Columbia River Gorge into
Washington State. Brad was glad we were not taking him over this bridge.
Uncle Gail had worked in Astoria many years ago on a project and told us to
make sure we went to "The Ship Inn". It was a small resturant right at the
water's edge. It had a small dinning room with full length windows so you
could watch the boats and ships. We were also entertained by the seagulls.
Oh yeah, and the fish dinner was GREAT! We almost walked out after
looking at the menu - we didn't think there was anything Brad would eat.
As we turned to walk out, an older couple was coming in. She looked at us
and said, "your not leaving without eating are you"? They told us not to
leave because their food was the best! Brad decided on a sandwich and dad
and I got fish dinners. Today was Father's Day and we had a great day!
