Ahoy, welcome back to Adventure Sena! 🌊

Welcome to our new Small Town Spotlight series, featuring the best bits of unique small towns I encounter on my travels! Set sail with us on a historical day trip to Astoria, Oregon, where the rich tapestry of the maritime past meets the vibrant energy of the present! 🚢


Join us as we delve into the captivating history of Astoria, once a bustling hub for shipping and maritime commerce, and now immortalized as the iconic filming location of "The Goonies"! 🎥


Our journey begins at the Lower Columbia History Museum, where we uncover the fascinating tale of Astoria's storied past, from its humble beginnings to its rise as a maritime powerhouse. 🏛️


As we stroll along the waterfront boardwalk, we pay homage to the Maritime Memorial beneath the mighty Astoria-Megler Bridge, the lifeline connecting Oregon and Washington. 🌉


But the real adventure begins when we step into downtown Astoria and discover the hidden gem known as Merry Time Bar. 🍻 Immerse yourself in its nautical punk rock vibe, where Anthony Bourdain himself would have shed tears of joy! 🎸


Indulge your taste buds with their outrageously delicious Nashville hot chicken sandwich, a culinary masterpiece that will leave you craving more! And take on your friends at the pool table or pinball arcade after lunch! 🍔


Our journey takes a detour to witness the haunting beauty of the wreck of the Peter Iredale before ascending to the dizzying heights of the Astoria Column. 🏞️


From the top, we soar high with wooden toy gliders, taking in breathtaking 360-degree views of Astoria and the treacherous Lower Columbia River Bar. 🛩️
