We flew into Portland late and spent the night in a lovely hotel (with suites, they actually let us all 6 stay in the same room. When you have lots of kids that is pretty cool. Now I know to look for suites.) and headed out in the AM for my dad's over by Shelton, WA. Then to my grandmas close to the Canadian border, and got to see my mom there too, then to Carol's and then south to Oregon to see Greg's folks. It was a lot of driving. Then back up to Portland to fly home.
I highly recommend the GPS thing with the cell phones. We had it and tried it in New Orleans which was wonderful, they still don't have all the signs up directing you to the freeway. I know, Katrina was 2 years ago. What can I say. GPS knew which way to go though --- so we used it all the time on our trip to see family too. It was fantastic. Even Carol's house out in the country was easy to find with our little direction lady. And though we had lived in Oregon and sort of knew our way around, the GPS finds the short way. Ahhhhh!
This is what it looks like in January in Oregon in the sky. Ok I am serious, it looks like this MOST of the time. Which is why my next post is so wonderful!
