Our friends Bill and Addie recently invited us on a trip to visit Addie's parents in Astoria for the weekend. Astoria was the focus of Hollywood for a few years. The Goonies was shot there, as well as Kindergarten Cop and a couple fo other movies I haven't seen. It's about a three hour drive to Astoria from Seattle. However, Addie's Dad, Phil, Happens to own his own
four seater Piper Cherokee. He offered to fly up to Paine field and pick us up. That was a lot of fun. We got some great pictures. Addie went down to her parents earlier in the week so it was just Ruth and Phil and Bill and I. Bill and I have the same camera and were snapping pi
cs like a couple 'o shutter bugs all weekend. We look like a couple of full fledged tourists walking through the Sunday market in downtown Astoria with our Rebel's slung over our shoulder. Oh well. We had fun. Addie's parents were great hosts. We went to the beach on Saturday, we sat in the hottub. We went to the market on Sunday and then sat around Bill and Addie's new inflatable pool that their six month old daughter, Caley, enjoyed. All of that was interspersed with amazing meals. yum. Good times were had. Praise God for taking care of all of our needs, as well as things we don't need but truly enjoy. Thanks again to the Gerlach's and their parents.
