Day 2: We got up on good time to drive up along the coast. Dennis and Marsha took us to see the tide pools at Hug Beach. They were filled with star fish and anemones! There was also some great caves. After Hug Beach we were off to Fort Clatsop; where Luis and Clark had a fort and we got to see some demonstrations. By then it was about lunch time so we continued our journey up to Cannon Beach and Mo's for lunch! I tried clam strips for the first time and they were amazing! Next we visited the Astoria Tower. 164 tightly wound steps straight up and we were at the top to shoot off out airplanes! Following was a visit to the Flavell House, which is a very old, very nice mansion of a long ago charter captain! We couldn't leave without driving over the long [ 4 miles ish] bridge, so we did that and then headed on the twisty road home. Needless to say, by the end of the day we were whooped!
