These two pictures were taken at Cape Disappointment. ;0) Why the name? I think it was named for the number of ships that sank off its coast . . . Hopefully not for my photography! :0P
Our next stop on this little scenic trip was North Head Lighthouse
 |
| A hooded, beardless dwarf peers intently up the path, determined to fight back the giant approaching him in great, thundering strides . . . Okay, so more like, "why are you taking pictures of me, bro?" |
The lighthouse reminded me of this great song from Rend Collective. :0)
Some scenery . . .
Did you spot the fishermen?
 |
| I can just see you writhing in agony, Jordan S., wishing you could jump through this picture and onto the beach . . . :0P |
Look, I was able to sneak up into the lighthouse!!!! (Okay, not really)
Actually, most of the fam and even me own bro-in-law Richie got to see the insides of said lighthouse!

| Descending the tower of Mordor, having vanquished the dread lord Sauron with the help of a couple of Hobbits!!!! Okay, so it has just been a while since I have watched LOTRs ;0) |
I like Rend Collective. :) Especially "Build Your Kingdom Here."
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a fun trip. :0 My friend lives right near that area - I think 45 minutes from Astoria.
According to http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=5621,
Cape Disappointment was named because an explorer was disappointed he didn't find the Columbia River. I thought it had something to do with Lewis and Clark but nope. :)
Hey Kari! Yep, Rend Collective is awesome! :0)
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's interesting about Cape Disappointment . . . now I know!
How did your SAT go BTW? I meant to catch up with you guys afterwards, but I think my class was one of the last to let out . . .
Looks like you had a great time! We actually stayed at the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse keepers house for Christmas a few years ago! That area is SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteRend Collective!!!! They're actually pretty good... Build your kingdom here is their best IMHO... I love how Irish they are when they play live... They just act like it!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Elanee! Cool! Wow, for Christmas? Hopefully you guys didn't get too wet. ;0)
ReplyDeleteJordan: *jaw drops* And we agree on another CCM song! Wow!!! :0P
The SAT was okay. I didn't quite finish my essay and I guessed on some of the harder questions, but I think I did pretty well. Last Saturday I took the ACT, and I thought it was a lot easier than the SAT. :)
ReplyDelete@Kyle: is RC really contemp?!?? They're kinda more alternative folk I think (It's the production again! ;)) Their music vid for Build your kingdom is weird in my opinion.... with the people in the back and all. I'll have to send you a good one of them doing that song I found.
ReplyDeletebut we still don't agree on welcome to the new, right?! JK :P
Jordan: Well, their songs *are* on K-Love. Doesn't that make them contemp? :0P Yeah, that was kind of a weird vid for BYKH. The vid for My Lighthouse was a little better . . . ;0)
ReplyDeleteYes, we agree that Welcome to the New is a great song and the end makes us laugh! *Fist Bump!*
No no no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently we don't agree! :P Okay... so the end was funny!... but other then that... "That Production!!!!!!" <--- You knew I was going to say that! :P
ReplyDeleteVery cool blog! :D Let me introduce myself. My name is Krista and I'm a friend of Emily (author of Life through a lens). Great pictures by the way. I love that song Lighthouse. And it does look like Sauron's tower!
ReplyDeleteHi Krista! Nice to meet ya'! Hey, from your reference to Sauron, you must be a fellow Ringer! *grins broadly* "It never ceases to amaze me, the courage of hobbits" ;0)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for following!
In Christ!
-K
LOL. I suppose I am. :)
