Coming Soon: Goonies Museum

Our loyal readers probably remember the post we did back in June about the Goonies landmarks in and around the Astoria, Oregon area (click here if you need a refresher). Well we have an exciting update...Clatsop County is giving the iconic jail from the movie to the county Historical Society, which plans to turn the old jail into a Goonies Museum! The museum is set to open in June 2010 just in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Goonies movie (wow, that makes us feel old). The museum will also pay tribute to other movies film in Oregon. Here is a link to the original KGW story that brightened our day, and was really like an early Christmas present. Thanks Santa for the Goonies Museum, it's just what we always wanted!!

Happy Hanukkah!!

Post in Pictures: Columbia River Gorge

One of the cool things about living in the Portland area is that when the weather is nice we can do some great sight seeing very close to home. Back a few weeks ago we had a rare nice day so we decided to head out to the Columbia River Gorge and take some pictures.


These pictures of the gorge were taken from the Crown Point Vista House, which you might recognize from the movie "Short Circuit".


We drove the winding historic Columbia River Highway to reach Crown point. Below is a picture of Crown Point from a bend in the highway.
