Welcome to Oregon!


So Greg and Lois came and picked us up in the 15 passenger van, then we went and picked up Abby and Tara and then headed out of town around 8:00 last night.

We arrived safely in Portland about 13.5 hrs later.

We drove through the Colombia Gorge just as it was getting light this morning.

Personally, I like the shots with the bugs splattered all over the windshield.

I had to take all the pictures through the windows while we were driving.

Not really an easy thing to do.

While driving along the river, there were a couple of places where there would be skid marks and then a huge dent in the guardrail.

I can't even imagine, that's like one of my worst nightmares.

But, as I said, we arrived safely. :-)

Mostly I was worried about how the kids were going to handle that long of a trip.

They are used to to traveling quite a bit

but our trips are usually only 4-5 hours max.



They did awesome though!

Hopefully, we'll be able to say the same about our Sunday trip back home.

Awww, they're both so cute. Looks like Ella is trying to charm someone into picking her up. :-)
