On Saturday morning, we made awesome chicken pita sandwiches for lunch.  Unfortunately, we went off to wash the dishes, only 10 feet from our site, when a crow swooped down and started eating our sandwiches.  VP yelled Noooooooo, flapped his arms and ran after the crows.  We heard giggles from the surrounding campsites.  I think it is because VP was wearing a black hoodie and he looked and sounded like a crow when he ran after them.  We ended up sacrificing half a sandwich cause VP was worried we would get crow coodies.

For our hike, we passed the beach on our way up to Cape Falcon, where we saw a lot of surfers.  It is odd, but the surfers talk and sound the same.  It was a moderate hike, about 6 miles round trip with only 800 ft elevation change.  The hike was very muddy and VP was covered in mud up to his waist, jumping in every muddy puddle he saw, that boy is so silly.  The view was very pretty and serene.

We were only suppose to pass through Fort Stevens State Park, but we ended up staying there for almost 2 hours. This is the first time I have seen VP so interested in history, I think it has something to do with forts and big guns.

This fort has awesome defensive capabilities...

hoot, hoot!

We went to the cute town of Seaside and found Goonies Booty at the gift shop. This is where we discovered that "The Goonies" was filmed along the coast of Oregon, mostly in the town called Astoria.  We passed through Astoria on our way home, but plan to come back and do the Goonies tour.  We plan on watching "The Goonies" before we go back.
