Long Beach Peninsula

There sure is a lot of history in Astoria where the Columbia empties into the Pacific Ocean....and there sure are a lot of breweries here. If only we loved beer. 😂😂😂

We decided to take a tour up to Longbeach and check out the peninsula. The weather was overcast but not raining yet. Good day for a drive.

Turns out this bridge is over 4 miles long









At Ilwaco there’s a loop that takes you to this state park. Cape Disappointment...such a positive place!



Then we carried on to Longbeach and went for a stroll

I love these boardwalks they go on for forever 







It’s almost like a freeway on the beach...so many vehicles!





Oysterville is this quaint little town with a seafood market. I read online that there are like 14 permanent residents and a number of non-residents. As you drive through there are mountains of oyster shells!

So back to Astoria and of course another fabric store...then we headed here for lunch

The infamous column. You can buy a model plane and fly it from the top ...kids had a blast picking them up off the grass below.

...and then there’s the view
