Well, today was a great day and it's not over yet. In Astoria, Oregon this morning we found a great view point that overlooks both Astoria and the mouth of the Columbia. This is the same hilltop where the first TV transmitter tower in the US was placed, the birthplace of cable!
And then the scenic part of the highway began. Our first stop was Seaside. A great little tourist trap. The kids were so excited to see the open ocean and the stretch of beach with big waves crashing ashore. They went to the little (very little) aquarium and some how in the process of feeding the seals, Hailey got a fish tail down in the back of her pants! We stayed in Seaside a little longer than planned. We headed back down the highway and stopped at Hug Point State Rec Site, yet another incredible beach. 
Reilly was straight into the water and sand, pulling seaweed down the beach. Hailey was running up and down the beach faster than we've seen her ever run before. The sun has come out but it's still not too warm. We left Tillamook at 5pm and decided to push onto Newport tonight.
We arrived in Newport at 9pm and decided not to look around for a campsite and settled for a hotel. So tonight it's La Quinta!

Awe welcome to Oregon! Did you see the Goonie's house while in Astoria? A must see!
Hope you stay on the Oregon coast for the 4th of July firework shows, they are the BOMB (pun intended).
Ta!
