Thank you very much for your help and suggestions, the google map that you routed out is very helpful 
. The blue trip seems reasonable for next Saturday (2/17), I'm hoping the weather cooperates (as of now 51*F and showers). Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of stouts so will likely avoid the beer festival in Astoria (though that will save us the drive up and back). The views of Pelican brewpub are spectacular, that's the kind of adventure/ kodak moment I'm looking for on this trip. I'll add Tillamook to the itinerary, a 90 minute drive is Baton Rouge to Nola, perfectly reasonable in my book. More than likely my picture at the brewpub will look like this
rather than this
But that is perfectly fine, I know what I'm getting myself into.

Here is a pic I took from my phone at Ecola State Park, the weekend of January 6th, last month. That's Cannon Beach in the distance.

I like that trip because You don't get the same scenery coming and going. You just take the triangular route, and the drive stays fresh. Personally, I like the route through the mountains along Hwy 6 better than Hwy 26. The star of the drive, though is the drive down the coast between Cannon Beach and Tillamook.
Cannon Beach is an awesome town, btw. It's very classy (especially when compared to the town of Seaside, just north). Downtown Cannon Beach is very walkable and has plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries, and other such stuff.
Don't worry about the weather. 50's and showers are pretty normal here in the winter. Just wear a hoodie with layers underneath and jeans, and you'll be fine. Like I said, the storms and rough sea are fun to watch.
