Oregon Coast Day 6 (7/22)

On Friday, we drove 1.5 hours west of Portland to hit the town of Astoria, WA.  Astoria is a small, Northwest coastal town at the mouth of the Columbia River to begin our drive down the Oregon coast.  It is famous for their Maritime Museum, which unfortunately, we didn't have time to visit.  Right across from the museum, we ate the most incredible-tasting Fish and Chips.  I am not usually a Fish & Chip person, but these were so delicious because it was made with Albacore Tuna.  Yums... still thinking about it!!   

Sarah's 1st time on the sand and not liking it! 
The drive down south along the coast brought us through beautiful beaches and spectacular scenery.   We stopped by a few viewpoints along the way.

We made the trip down to Tillamook, famous for their Tillamook Cheese Factory.  There, we toured the facility and even sampled 3 of their 38 ice cream flavors!  By nightfall, we headed back to Portland for our final night.
