Tried to Beat the Heat with a Beach Trip





Marie Antoinette Cupcake Parlor

  

We got our permit yeah! Work starts Monday!

So hot today in Portland 99 degrees that we took off for the beach to try and beat the heat. Nice try but no such luck. It was 99 degrees in Seaside and Astoria. But at least the long car ride ( traffic, traffic, traffic ) was air conditioned.

We did have a good time in Astoria despite the heat. We found Marie Antoinettes Cupcake Parlor in the old Astoria Bank Building. This building has been restored so beautifully you can't imagine. You even have to visit the restroom, it is amazing.


We stopped at my favorites Romancing the Home and found two huge rag rugs for cheap cheap. Then onto Astoria. There was a sidewalk sale going on outside the Vintage Hardware Store, another favorite and we found a couple treasures there. Last stop Ambiance. Those two ladies have an amazing knack for display. Almost too good though.... as I rarely want to disturb their displays and buy something?
I love just looking at old buildings and signs and Astoria has a bunch.
