Kim and Courtney

It's kind of cool how this blog has brought so many cool people into my life. People whom I would never have had the chance to meet had it not been for the Internet. It all started as words and continued shared common ideas and opinions. We each seem to have Blog Circles in which we travel and commingle. It would be really cool to draw it as a family tree so one could see which branch certain readers reside. Many of my readers and friends come from Syd's blog.

Bloggers, Kim and Courtney came out for an all to short visit. Kim wasn't feeling well when she got to Portland so she had to abandon the hopes to meet up with the Syd Family Portland and Seattle Bloggers, but she felt well enough on Monday to make the trip to Astoria. They arrived after 3pm so I had to give them the quick Astoria Rust Tour. Since they left their camera in Virginia I figured I'd post shots of what we visited in the short tour.

We went to the South Jetty:



Then we continued into Astoria where they were introduced to Chief Condomhead:


Then we started the movie tour and I showed them the Short Circuit house and then the Kindergarten Cop Astor School and then the Goonies House and the old County Jail that was used in Goonies:





Then we went to the Column:


Then they had to see my favorite sign:


Before going home we ended up at the Wet Dog for Dinner:


We stayed up chatting until 10:30 and we all woke up early and had a breakfast with fresh eggs, pancakes and orange slices.

It's amazing but somehow I knew we were going to hit it off and we did, big time. It is so good to have engaging guests. Kim and Court are delightful. Please come back soon.
