After setting up camp on Thursday we headed N on Hwy 101 to Fort Stevens.
Now I hate learning about history from a text book in a classroom but Spence loves it. We both however love to see actual history. It is so cool to be able to walk around a historical landmark and see all the different things. That still doesn't mean that I retain the great things that I learn even though I probably should.
Japanese Balloon attack during WW2 ^
Train pictures for my Daddy
It was fun to look at the train model after we got back from our exploring and see where we had been.
Tall and steep stairs.
Spence made it to the top before I and was in awe of the view.
These beautiful flowers were everywhere ^
At the top of that hike up the stairs was the ^
Our view
We absolutely love Oregon for all its beauty and because we can look one direction and see the ocean or water of some sort and another and see a huge forest. We can drive a hour and a half to the beach and to the mountain. It is also great to live in a place were there is so much history!
Look at those huge tools they used! ^
Birds LOVE the inside of the cool and dark battery.
Mama Deer
and of out the trees came two babies
This faces the water and moves from side to side as well as up and down ^ 
Look at how huge this is ^
Not sure if you can see it but off in the distance of this picture is the bridge that takes you to Astoria. ^
Outside Indian Longhouse ^
Inside ^ To the left of the picture there was a whole wall of wood bunks.

We enjoyed our trip to Fort Stevens very much! It reminded us of all the things that we LOVE about Oregon!
