Our cruise departs from Seattle.

We've never embarked here before, so we haven't seen this side of the sound.

But we're already prepared for the sail away.

Another interesting sight at our first stop - huge timber trees at Astoria's harbor.

We drive along the coast until we find fun places to stop.

Ella's looking for Goonies.

We get a neat view of our ship as we take the long bridge across the Columbia River to Medford, WA (and back).
