Jacky and Nancy conquer their fear of heights!!

Historic Bridge in Astoria

The Astoria Column, Jacky and I climbed to the top, despite our fear of heights (and my fear of going up 165 stairs :) )

Seaside, OR - The end of the Lewis and Clark trail

Poor baby seal got beached

So Monday we checked out the Bay in Newport - when the stores were finally opened at 10. But while we waited for them to open, we watched all the seal lions in the harbour. We love sea lions (especially when it's free!). After our shopping we drove on to Lincoln, with of course more scenic stops. Got stuck in two traffic jams. The 1st due to an accident and the 2nd (which was for 35-40 minutes!) was because a tree fell on the road. So when we FINALLY got to Lincoln, we tried to blow glass, but it was too expensive. Then we tried to go to the beach, but there was no parking. So we left. Grabbed some lunch on the way out of town, then we headed to the 3 coves scenic drive, where we saw the poor seal beached on the beach. We moved on to seaside and then to Astoria, just before the Washington border. Very pretty and historic town.
