Crab Fest

Every year we go the annual Crab and Seafood Festival, which is more like the crab and wine/beer festival. They have many vendors from all over the northwest there giving out samples hoping you buy there products. Each year it is a like a reunion, you run into many people you haven't seen since the year before, there.
This year we invited our new friends who are new to the area, Ian and Katie. Katie and I met at school and are both trying to get into the nursing program. We have become good friends and I wanted to show them a good time.
We also had another new guest with us this year, my cousin Austin! Austin just joined the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and has been stationed down in Garibaldi, 'bout 50 miles south of Astoria. We are thrilled and proud of him and are excited to have him so close to us!
We all went and had a great time, not to mention James and I were baby free for the evening and enjoyed ourselves. We haven't been able to go out alone in quite some time so it was very nice for us!

Crab & Seafood Festival

Every year in Astoria they have their annual Crab and Seafood festival, which is more like an arts and wine festival. Last year James was in California and couldn't join me, but this year we went and had an extra guest, Teagan! I am not a big drinker and haven't had a drink since last year, so I told James that I wanted to be able to have some wine. So he packed Teagan in the front pack and he received lots of attention from lots of people! Teagan was dressed appropriately in his crab shirt, thanks to Auntie Jamie! My friend Jen came down for the weekend and we all went out there and met up with lots of our friends! We ended up having a fun time, and even waited in the huge long line for crab bread! Yum! Well worth it!
