Rainy Day in Bandon
Seems like summer is for sure coming to an end. We have had a beautiful soft and constant rain for the last couple of days. Love it! It is so nice to breath in the fresh smell of rain and watch the clouds come in over the ocean. Happy! Happy! day.

Can you stand a few more pictures??
View of Cannon Beach, Oregon
On the way home, we stopped at a couple of the places we had visited when we made the trip south the Eric and Erika and Alex.
Still Trying to get some more pictures.
The room that Sacajawea(sp?)her husband and baby lived in the fortWe went to the Lewis & Clark Park and enjoyed learning about their travels and exploration. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed walking to the area where their fort was and to learn about what they accomplished.
I bought some glass trade beads that they used to trade with the Native Americans that lived in the area. I have made a necklace out of the bead.
More of the Astoria Getaway!
Our motel, we were almost under the bridge. It was pretty nice and they did have a pool and hot tub that we used . The sign at the Flavel Mansion gift shop and a picture of me standing by the fish pond on the lawn of the Flavel house. Beautiful garden with sweet smelling flowers, roses, lavender, jasmine and more. Oh, and the little jail house across the street from the Flavel Mansion.
Bridge across the Columbia River to Washington.
Well, as you can see we did have a fun time. I am still looking for the pictures of Cannon Beach and some of the pictures are of a old sailing boat that wrecked on the beach , the old theatre, the Flavel Mansion etc.
Some Pictures of Astoria
We really enjoyed the couple of days we spent in Astoria and the weather was great while we were there. Some of the locals said it was a rare day to have such great weather.
Nothing too new
We stopped by the Chain Saw Competition and Shirl really liked these "beary guys"so we brought them home with us.
