Astoria
Rather than sitting around the house counting down until Bryan leaves, yesterday we decided to head out to Astoria for the day. The drive was a bit longer than we expected, but we did achieve our goal of getting out of the house. Brooke was as good as could be expected in the car. But we do have a new family rule: No day trips more than two hours away!
We put Brooke in the backpack and climbed up the Astoria Column for some great views.
Then, we headed over to Fort Clatsop and walked around on some of the trails.
All in all, it was a nice day and a good way to get our mind off the impending deployment.
