Day Trip to Astoria

Last weekend Nick and I headed North to Astoria, a coastal town about two hours from us here in Portland. We like to escape to the Coast every once in a while and it had been years since either of us had to been to Astoria, so we decided to spend the day up North in the cooler weather. Turns out, we both fell in love with cute little Astoria and by far, turns out to be our favorite Oregon coastal town close to us. This most Northern spot in Oregon sits on the opening of the Columbia River into the Pacific Ocean and has stunning views of Washington State across the river as well as out to sea.

We’ll definitely be making repeat visits in the future, but for now, here’s a look at our day on the Oregon coast.
