Well, it's been a while since the last update, and we've had a few new Hansen Family Adventures! A few weeks ago we were set to go downtown to Portland's Saturday Market...just as we were pulling out of the driveway, we decided to detour and head to the coast...we felt kind of sneaky not telling anyone where we were going, since we were expected back sometime in the afternoon...but in all honesty, we knew no one would really care...but we felt like bandits escaping in the night anyhoo!!!

We spent most of the day at Seaside, then traveled north to Astoria...couldn't help going over this massive bridge (the length of it
disappears in the fog) it stretches over the mouth of the Columbia...couldn't pass it up...so we reset the trip odometer and over and back we went...one way was 41/2 miles!!!

John and Baby Carter taking a stroll...it was a perfect fall day at the beach, sunny, a few clouds, cool....and just right for a barefoot dip into the water!

Although our shadows make us look like giants, I still thought this was kind of a fun picture...who can resist writing something sentimental in the sand?!

At the Seaside Carousel mall, taking it all in.

Isn't Seaside the best! Last time we were there we rode that carousel. Glad you were able to "escape" and have some fun.
