We went up the the World Forestry Center, which was a really terrible idea! The place was crawling with people! We found out that night that it was a day off for the public schools... NEVER GO TO THE ZOO ON A NO SCHOOL DAY.
Despite saying they wanted to take it easy, my parents wanted to go to Mt. St. Helens on Thursday, before I went to work! That's what's left of it, six miles behind us. The visitors centers there are excellent.
We took off on an adventure up through the homeland (St. Johns and Sauvie Island) to Astoria, Ft. Stevens State Park and Cannon Beach. We went to the end of Oregon where the Columbia meets the Pacific. It was pretty special and a beautiful day.
