It’s been a busy week. We started out at Kenny’s class reunion in Lincoln City. It was fun for me to watch him reminisce with old friends.
There was another little boy with Down Syndrome and there was a great guy (husband of a classmate) who played frisbee with the two boys for a long time. At some point, Joel (the other little boy) asked me to come play with them. I said no, thanks….and he looked at me so intently and said “I want you to….” . We had the conversation several times, lol.
We then left LC and headed up the coast. We can’t drive by the Tillamook Cheese Factory without stopping for ice cream. Watch for Tyler and Kenny when they are up for their turn. Tyler just gets so excited about his vanilla ice cream!
Another highlight is the tunnel. I did try to get a little bit of the beauty of Neahkahnie Mountain but it was way too jiggly and way too loud to include.
We’ve visited Astoria a few times and went through the maritme museum there…it was so interesting. I’d love to do some reading about the area now that we did that. It’s funny that we can live so close to such a great river and take it for granted. I learned a lot and plan to do a little more research on it.
Here’s a glimpse of our adventures!
Yesterday we went to Stitch n Pitch in Seattle. Maybe I’ll get a chance to post about that later today…we got home at 2 and I was up until 4!!!
I had 2 goals for our week off….go to the game and see Julie and Julia. Unfortunately, the movie isn’t playing anywhere near us, I guess we’ll have to go find it one of these days soon, I hear it’s hilarious!

It’s about time someone took me on a vacation! I’ve been teasing all year. I’ll bet is went as fast in real life as it did in the video, didn’t it?
The video was great! Welcome home.
