Fact: Several notable films have been filmed in Astoria Oregon. Cinematic gems like Short Circuit, Kindergarten Cop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Free Willy I and II, but none come close to the greatness of Goonies. That's right, the Goonies. (Insert image of Chunk doing the truffle shuffle outside the picket fence).
The first stop of our cruise was in Astoria. To say that city is beautiful and awesome doesn't do it justice. The people in town were some of the nicest folks I've been around in a while. Sit down and enjoy the ride as I walk you through our adventure in Goonie - ville.
This is a shot of the harbor from the roof of the cruise ship. Such a cool little town nestled up against the Pacific Ocean and Columbia River.
As soon as we got off the boat, it started pouring rain. Here are the Brown's galloping through the puddles. They immediately regretted that decision.
Pylons in the Columbia River. Pretty cool green moss.
Brandon and Kiele managed to find the greatest pecan pie. Courtesy of the Custard King.
How's that for killer landscaping??
Awesome backyard, with a killer view in the front.
We then walked up to the Astoria Column. Yes, we walked the whole way. It was quite the trek, but the views were incredible. These lovely ladies happened to be at the column and willing to pose for the photo.
Then it was time for Jessica Alba....wait I mean AnDrea to strike a pose.

I'm quite pleased with these shots. Thank you ladies for being so colorful and awesome.
Sake Boom shaka.
Then it was back down to the riverwalk to begin our trek to the Goonies house.
Then it was back down to the riverwalk to begin our trek to the Goonies house.You can't see it....but the Trolley car was literally 20 feet behind her right before we shot this. Well worth it I'd say. Right Benin? :)
You don't get rain puddles like this too often in Orange County.
You don't get rain puddles like this too often in Orange County.We finally made it. THE GOONIES HOUSE!!!
Proof that I was there.
Dear Astoria, you're like having your cake and eating it too. I shall visit you again some day and bask in your beauty.
The End.
