So J and I just celebrated our 2nd anniversary on a 5 day road trip in Oregon. It was seriously so freakin fun. We did it true road trip style and made a bed in the back of my car and slept there 3 of the 4 nights. We left from Utah, headed through Idaho and up to the bottom of Washington, then down through the Oregon Coast into California. It was quiet the adventure. The first day was just drive drive drive. 
We slept in Boise at the Shilo Inn parking lot. It sucked so bad because the sprinklers went off in the middle of the night and blasted the crap out of my car. It was like trying to sleep through a hurricane. The next day we headed out and finally reached Oregon and Washington. We drove through some really cute little cowboy towns like Baker and Pendleton. 
Jory got a nice hefty speeding ticket while on our way.....$287.00. Ya he was pretty excited about it. When we reached the Washington/Oregon border the views started to get much better. We followed the Columbia River all the way up, which was really interesting. Our rivers here are tiny compared to that river. 
They have huge cargo ships that travel up and down the river exporting goods. On the way to our first stop we went throught the Columbia River George area. We stopped at Multnomah Falls which were AMAZING. By far the best waterfalls I have ever seen. It was pouring rain so we didn't do the full hike but we did go to the middle bridge to take some pics.
Our first real day of site seein was in Astoria. It's a real old town with Victorian style homes. Seriously so cute. We went to a light house there were we could look over the whole river.
Then we went down and walked the pier checking out some of the shops. It was late so there wasn't a whole lot to do. There is a huge bridge that went on for miles across the opening of the river to Washington. We took a stroll out there to check things out....there was nothing on the other side lol. After driving through most of Astoria we headed to the next town called Seaside. Seaside was a quaint little town right on the beach. It's full of tourist shops and restaurants. We finally got some dinner at around 10:00 and then pulled into a hotel parking lot to catch some ZZZZZZZ. More pictures to come of Astoria and Seaside.......
