Road Trip

I love to travel and so does Tyler. Since sending off his passport for his mission visa, he cant travel anywhere that requires a passport. so we decided to take a road trip to Portland Oregon. We lived in Oregon before moving to St. George. That is where Tyler is born. Tyler hadn't been back since we moved when he was 2 and Teegan had never been. We took my Mom with us who also used to live there. Tori came too! Her husband had scout camp that week so it worked out great. It was a lot of driving, but it was a good time.

We stopped in Twin Falls to show the kids where I went to High School. (I forgot to take a picture tho) Then we stopped at Multnomah Falls. It is just a little bit outside of Portland. It was a nice stop and is so pretty!!

We went to the Grand  Floral Parade on Saturday morning in downtown Portland, then spent a little time at the Saturday market. It was kind of hot tho. We even went to the famous Voodoo doughnuts!

There was a line to get in.

Almost inside

mmm yum

On Sunday after church, we drove to Mt Hood. It was really pretty. Tori stayed behind to do homework.

We tracked down sister Lindsey Graf from st George after church too. Her dad is our Bishop and I visit teach her mom. It was nice to see her, I mostly did this for her mom. I know that I would want someone to visit Tyler if they were in his area.

 

On Monday Rob took us to an interesting ice cream shop. There flavors were weird. Pear and blue cheese, olive oil, lavendar. etc. I dont think it was any of our favorites. It was an experience though.

We went to the rose Garden. and after we went to eat at some food trucks. Teegan had shrimp nachos!

 

On Tuesday, we headed to Winchester Bay to the sand dunes. On the way we stopped in Corvallis to show the kids where we used to love. This is our old house. The house we lived in when Tyler was born. We lived there for 4 years.  From 1995-1999. (1019 N Lorvik place)

We ate dinner at the Harbor lighthouse family restaurant on Tuesday night. Wednesday we spent playing at the beach and on the dunes 

Ken taught me how to skip rocks. It was a lot colder on the coast, as usual. But we didnt let that stop us.

 Everyone had lots of fun riding in and driving the rasers.

Grandma rode in the rasers too. At 83 she doesnt seem to be slowing down much. 

Grandma, Teegan and Tori

Grandma wore Teegans sweatshirt. Can you tell who is who? haha. They traded glasses. Those sillies!

Tyler decided to jump into the freezing ocean. He got in to his neck! and did some push ups twice! That crazy kid!!

There was lots of sleeping on the ride home. We stopped in twin falls and Layton so that Grandma could visit her brothers. It was a good trip.
