Astoria: Post Thanksgiving

Astoria, Oregon is a beautiful seaside town full of great historical eyecandy. Astorians really know how to preserve and renovate their spaces and also brew amazing beer and a mean cup of coffee. We packaged up the extended family over Thanksgiving weekend and set loose on the town. We were welcomed with open arms at Fort George Brewery. Kids and all... just a few feet from the beer tanks. Also had a chance to explore shops and take a rest at the beautiful Street 14 Coffee which is connected to the newly renovated Commodore Hotel. All full of amazing old details and nostalgic charm.

Timeless summer fun

Our local Colman Pool in Lincoln Park has just wrapped up renovations. I took some quick snaps as they were setting up for the first open. We watched eager swimmers stand in line. This unique pool is filled with heated salt water, 1941 charm and sits right on the shore of Puget Sound. As if floating in this vintage setting wasn't cool enough, you can watch the ferries drift by while you splash away.
