We road tripped up to Oregon for Lauren's graduation. Considering it was 9 hours in the car each way, my best case scenario was that it would be only slightly unpleasant, and worst case was utter misery. I was pleasantly shocked that the car ride was down right enjoyable. Audio books were magical for Samuel, some of the travel was after bedtime and the kids slept, we ate mostly healthy food that I brought in a cooler. On the way up we stopped to make dinner on our camp stove in a park in Redding, and happened upon a water park. Since we had our swim suits in our suitcase, and had been in the car for 4 hours straight, we were ready for a break, and jumped right in. We camped in Ashland and enjoyed their big park quite a bit. Joan reserved a teepee bed and breakfast place for us outside of Eugene and we met up with the rest of the family.
On the way home we did it in a day, with a stop to stretch our legs in Ashland and eat dinner in Redding. Yay for fun car trips! Yay for good travelers! Yay for weird Tee Pee bed and breakfasts! Yay for Eugeneites who have no problem accommodating no gluten and no dairy!
We mostly only have pictures of the spinny thingy at the park in Ashland that the kids loved, but here they are...
And the famous track at the U of O - Hayward Field. Steve was excited to get a chance to go take a look at it and he had fun racing the kids on it.
