So we drove over 2,700 miles last week. The girls were fantastic for it; but I think we are all ready for a little less time in the car now. The highlight was definitely getting to soak in the green goodness of Oregon with the Herzogs. We have been missing them a ton since they moved last month; so it was great to get to go visit so soon. I was sad to upload the pictures and see how few we got. I guess we’ll just have to go again.
Amanda loved the beach… by loved I mean loved to eat the sand.
Watching the sea lions and seals
There were a ton of them! They are loud and not very respectful of personal space. It reminded me of when certain little girls crawl into bed with their trying-to-sleep parents.
We drove straight through, so there was a lot of sleeping. Actually, we left about 10:30 Friday morning and got home at 7:00 Saturday morning. There were a few hangups; but we had a good time and the scenery was fantastic for most of the trip.
sweet sleep.

Taking in some art on a Eugene pit stop.
Luckily we got to bring the Herzogs back with us for a few days. So the fun is still going. Um, after I get the laundry going, that is.
I have never been up the Oregon coast, but it looks amazing. And I really want to take a long road trip next summer.
I haven’t been to Oregon yet either. It looks so pretty! I am glad the girls were good for you. It is always harder when they are frustrated about being tied in the car seat. (Abbie was mad a portion of the drive to and from Disneyland)
We drove to Oregon a little over a year ago with 4 adults, a 6-month old, and 2 dogs. Yes, it was a long drive, but totally worth it!!
I haven’t been to Oregon either. It looks like you had a great time. It also looks like I must plan a trip there myself!
