Astoria?

[Deleted]

I've never actually been and thought it might be fun to go spend the weekend there for our wedding anniversary at the end of June. 
Any lodging, dining, activity recommendations?

Definitely go to Ft. George brewery. Also, the Columbia River Maritime Museum there is pretty cool - especially the short movie about the navigating cargo ships across the Columbia River Bar.

A drive to Fort Stevens State Park is pretty neat. It's an old military fort right on the Pacific (just outside of Astoria). And if you want to see a bit of Astoria History you could visit the Flavel House Museum.

Oh, and of course check out the Goonies house!

Farmers Market and Goonies house. H's family stops there on their way to Rockaway every year.

Cape Disappointment is a great place to explore.

And I second Ft George Brewery.

I would avoid the Goonies house. There was an article last year that the owner had tarped it and put up no trespassing signs due to people being very disrespectful: www.slashfilm.com/goonies-house-shut-down/

I was also a fan of the Maritime Museum. And watching the changing of the captains on the freighters in the river if you have a chance to see one.

I second what monsterz said. We just went to Cape Disappointment on Saturday. It was awesome.

We've been to the museum a handful of times and watch that movie every time. I'm always in awe!
