Oregon Coast trip - part 4

Thursday morning we went North to visit Fort Clatsop in the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park near Astoria. We were even privileged to witness a ceremony for a group of people who became citizens of the United States of America. I have never seen an induction ceremony so it was neat to be there to witness people from all parts of the world becoming official citizens of our country, even Iraq.

This is the same type of dog that Lewis and Clark had traveled with when they made their expedition. This particular dog was very calm and friendly.

Here is Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark had stayed for part of their journey.

And finally the day had come to go visit Astoria and some of the "Goonies" sites and to get some fish and chips from the Bowpicker which we had heard so much about.  Unfortunately though, the line was very long and we all decided to eat at other places instead. A group of us ate at a good restaurant called "Baked Alaska". The food there was very good and we had a nice view of the river/ocean.

The kids were playing across the street from the Bowpicker at the museum while waiting to see if we'd get food.

Ah, Nikki's stuck in the anchor! 

This is where we ate lunch instead, at Baked Alaska. It was good!

After lunch we hopped aboard the Trolley in front of the museum and enjoyed a nice ride where we saw different parts of Astoria.

Finally, the Goonies' driveway! They even had signs.

Here it is, the "Goonies" house. Someone lives there so we could only get a picture from outside. We also had to park and walk a few blocks away over by the school because there were signs that said that's where we had to go.

We walked down to a dock where we saw and heard sea lions hanging out on their own private dock. They were making lots of noise.

And here's the school from the movie "Kindergarten Cop".

And back to "Goonies" again. The jeep that the criminals drove and got shot at in a police chase at the beginning of the movie. They're pointing to the bullet holes.

This is the jailhouse that the brother broke out of in the beginning of the movie. I borrowed this picture from Laverne.
