Lauren and I started day two bright and early with mediocre (that's being generous) continental breakfast at the Warrenton Shilo Inn. After we fueled up we took care of some business (Yosemite campground = Booked--Yay!) and head south on the 101 towards Seaside.
We got distracted by a sign that said "Sunset Beach" and were amused to find that the road towards Sunset Beach actually led onto Sunset Beach.
 |
| We took three of these, my eyes were closed in all three :- | / |
After a few minutes of driving around ON the beach, the novelty wore off and we went back to the parking lot to dump the car while we did a short hike along the bluffs.

| West to the beach |

 |
| I love the ocean. |
From there we headed into Seasides' downtown. We got our first pleasant surprise of the day when we stumbled upon a sign announcing that this weekend was Seasides annualMuscle and Chrome car show!
 |
| Loud n' Proud! |
 |
| Lauren and I had no idea Squirrelly was such a car enthusiast. |
After a couple of hours walking around downtown, enjoying the muscle and chrome show, and grabbing a delicious lunch at the Tsumami Sandwich shop, we decide to head north to check out Astoria.
 |
| Yum! |
Situated just north of Warrington Astoria is the setting of such cinematic classics as the Goonies, Kindergarden Cop, TNMT III and and a handful of others in rapidly diminishing importance. Astoria has a lovely downtown with a handful of used/second hand stores, plenty of casual drinking and dining establishments.
It was here that we stumbled upon our second pleasant surprise of the day--Fort George Brewery!
 |
| Me in my element. |
Lauren and I both enjoyed Fort George, in fact, we enjoyed it so thoroughly that just a few hours later we found ourselves back on the patio soaking up the late-evening rays over dinner.
After dinner, we decided there wasn't a better way to cap out the day than to take care of some business that was loooong overdue for me; we'd watch The Goonies!
 |
| Better late than never right? |
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
