We took a quick day trip 15 miles north of Gearhart to Astoria to see the sights.  We went to the Astoria Column and flew wood airplanes off the top.  Great views of Astoria and the Columbia River.  (It was too cloudy to see all the way out to the Pacific.)  Then we went to the "Goon Docks", or the house from the movie "Goonies" for those of you who are unaware of the term.  And last, we stopped by Fort Stevens on our way back to the resort.  The kids climbed on everything that they could see and had fun running around.
