I realize that the Pacific Northwest is known for being rainy. But, c'mon! Enough already!! Everyone said that the drive to Astoria is just beautiful, but all we saw were clouds, fog, clouds and rain. I haven't seen the sky in 5 days. There is a light rain falling outside the hotel room right now, but the weather forecast for today calls for "mostly cloudy" after about noon. *Fingers crossed*
We are staying at the Red Lion Inn in Astoria, which is not the lap of luxury, but at least it has a history. This motel used to be called the Thunderbird Motel, and it is where the cast and crew of The Goonies stayed when they were filming here. Emma and I have decided that we are staying in Sean Astin's room. Hey, it could happen!
Today we're going on a kind of Generation Xer's movie location dream hunt. Movies filmed in and around Astoria include: The Goonies (yeah!), Kindergarten Cop, Short Circuit, and (I think) WarGames.
After today, we head for home.
