Day Trip to Astoria via Cannon Beach

My lovely wife, Kim, and I decided to drive to Astoria yesterday. We went for the purpose of visitiing the Lunar Boy Gallery because they were doing a themed group show on El Dia De Los Muertos and we are both fans. It is a good thing we went by way of Cannon Beach first and got to enjoy a very nice day at the beach, other wise we would have driven a long way to see just a few things at Lunar Boy.

But it was a great day for a drive and it was even sunny at the beach.

We had a lite lunch at Bill's Tavern in Cannon Beach which has tasty food and their own micro brews - next time I'll probably just have a Guinness. The pub is very nice and the food is good, so we stop there every time we're down that way. After Bill's we drove on up to Astoria, home of several movies - the most famous being Goonies.

Lunar Boy is a very cool little gallery that reminds me of some of the hip galleries here in Portland like Compound Gallery at Just Be Toys.

After we got back in town, Kim and I went and had a drink at a newer place, Thatch which is a Tiki bar on NE Broadway. Pretty cool place if you like the Tiki Bar theme. I especially liked the puffer fish lamps.
