Whenever we have time for a vacation we either choose to go to Eureka or Salinas. This time around we were headed for Eureka and we were happy to be able to make a pit stop in Portland to see Gideon and Katie.
We headed East from Ogden and Ellie asked us "if we were there yet" after we had been on the road for 20 minutes. We ate dinner in Idaho Falls and spent the night in Boise. We got an early starts, stopped in Baker City for a park stop, stopped for lunch in some other Eastern Oregon town and finally felt like we were getting close once we started seeing the Columbia River. Eastern Oregon was dry and flat and blah. It was a relief once we hit the gorge and started seeing why Oregon is so great.
We loved spending time with Gideon and Katie. They live in an absolutely beautiful community with numerous parks and trails. We spent our time walking to the park, the kids rode scooters and bikes, swimming, splash pad, more parks, Target run, good food, and lots of laughing. We are so happy to have Gideon and Katie back on the West coast and we now have a pit stop on or Northern excursions.
Dino Rawr...Jared took a slow motion video that had us in stitches!
Farmers market and balloon animals. A sword, snake and dinosaur of course.
Katie and I matching, a normal coincidence.
