Our trip to Oregon 10-20

Shasta was wearing a little cap on the way north.

We went to Michelle's Friday, they have recently moved to Salem, Oregon and it has been six months since we've seen them...we were way overdue and sadly they are almost an hour further north now from where they were.  We did not take the trailer as we only planned on being there four nights...quicker and cheaper without it, though I always miss my traveling bathroom, kitchen and bedroom.

We had good weather up and back and in between which is highly unusual for this time of year.  Oregon is very green from their recent rains and the trees are just getting into their fall colors, it is so pretty up there this time of year...another week or so and the colors should start peaking there.

Seth was surprised and excited to see us and he and Grandpa figured out all kinds of things.  Saturday Michelle and I went shopping while Larry helped Darel with a wiring problem on Darel's truck.  On Sunday we just hung out all day with Seth...Michelle and Darel went and golfed nine holes while we played with the boy.  Monday we did shopping for stuff we needed and had a yummy Costco hotdog for lunch.  Tuesday we left when the kids left for work/school and it was danged cold for quite a lot of the morning...low 40's and by the time we got out of the mountains into the north valley of California it was 94 in Red Bluff.  We had a great visit, not long enough...yet just long enough...ha ha ha. 

It was great to get home and feels good to have one again.

 

Perfect dismount! (took him a few tries :))

Blogger is doing some kind of maintanence and I can't upload photos...so check back for the pics later...I say with fingers crossed.

Playing chess with his dad Darel.  Seth gets mad when you don't let him win...ha ha ha.
