Ate dinner in Astoria at the Wet Dog. Before leaving Astoria we went and checked out the house from the movie Goonies and then down the road to a beach location they also filmed at. View from our room and Goonies filming locations…

Down the coast. After a night in Astoria we headed South down the Oregon coast driving 2 days spending a night in Florence. We ate at Mos in Florence and the Crazy Norwegian in Bradon. Photos from along the coast…
