We impulsively decided to sneak away before baby is born and figured our 17th anniversary was as good excuse as any. We stayed at the Cannery Pier Hotel on the Astoria water front. Astoria is the oldest town west of the Rockies, rich in Finnish & Scandinavian history and you know how I love history. The Hotel was 600 feet out on the water next to a shipping channel so you could watch huge ships glide past your window.
A small boutique Hotel, the attention to detail was amazing. The old bicycles & chauffeured antique cars were complimentary.
It was a wonderful, relaxing getaway even though the Captain had one eye on the water at all times. I would visit with him and he would listen intently & say something like “I wonder what they are using for bait out there?”. I appreciate that he was willing to peruse the junk stores & Saturday market with me despite the call of the ocean.
All photos taken with iPhone.
Looks like a fun relaxing place!! I think Leon and I need to give it a try sometime:)

Don’t forget man, the Goonies was filmed in Astoria :)!

A little quiet, a little rest, in a simple and romantic setting.
Just what the doctor ordered.

I cant believe those photos were taken with an iphone! I was going to ask what camera you were using since I want to buy one 🙂 They are amazing! Looks like a blast, I totally wish I lived somewhere like that….Glad you had a wonderful time!
I liked it. So much useful material. I read with great interest.
Looks like a lovely place to take a trip. I also can’t believe those pictures came form the iphone. It makes me want to go out and get one right now.
Such a nice area to have a little down time before your new little one appears. Can’t hardly look at the pics, they make me soooooo homesick! I have always loved the town of Astoria & Oysterville.

This looks like an AMAZING place! I would love nothing more than to stumble upon it someday!
It looks like you two had a wonderful time! I love Astoria too…it was where my husband and I went for our first getaway, three years ago…after kids and fifteen years of marriage.(Yep, it was time for a little escape.) It is such a dreamily romantic place, with yes, wonderful junk stores too…:-)
Blessings to you…and Hazel’s happy arrival…
I’ve always wanted to go to Astoria. I recently read an historical novel, based on the story of an Indian woman that makes her home in Astoria during the early settlement days of Fort Astoria.
