"This is our time down here!"

I'm off for the weekend with Ben and the parental units to Astoria, Oregon, home of the Goonies and Kindergarten Cop. This Saturday is the three year anniversary of my little brother, Nolan's death. We usually take off somewhere every year at this time for a family getaway. The weekend will be filled with arcade tournaments, excessive Goonie lines, Fort George beer and stories of Nolan's culinary feats in the realm of sushi. I doubt this is a traditional way to pay tribute to a loved one... but it most certainly is the Reardon way.
