This weekend I surprised Dave with a trip to the Oregon coast. It was his birthday on the 17th and I wanted to do something different and fun. I called his secretary about a month ago and had her schedule him some bogus meetings. Then I arranged babysitting for Jameson and got the day off for me.
I managed to keep it a surprise. I had thurs off as my normal day and packed the bags for us. Then fri morning I left like I had to go to work only I just headed over to Dave's office to wait for him. I leave early on Fridays so Dave takes Jameson that day. Only of course he ended up going to the dry cleaners and running some errands, so I waited a long time. Then he was in the middle of a business call when he walked in to his office. He just looked at me funny and kept on talking for like 20 minutes. Finally his secretary Sammi came in and told him to get off the phone and turn it off. That is when I got to tell him we were going on vacation.
We headed first down I-5 and over to Astoria, OR. for those of you who know Goonies, this is where that was filmed. We did not go to the house this time, but I have been there a few times. Nothing special...just a house. We did go to the Astoria Column which is built on the highest point and overlooks the Columbia river. From there you can see Mt. St. Helens, Ranier, and Hood on a clear day as well as Oregon, Washington and the ocean. Take a look.
