Oregon Ride up

Finally we had to make that fateful trip to Oregon to have Ethan's heart murmur check up at the Dornbeckers Children Hospital in Portland. So day one we left for Oregon. The ride up was actually very nice. We went a little bit of a different way then normal so we could stop by a food stand outside of Connell. Here we got some lunch and treats and of course Ethan got to sit on the this great looking old Farmall Tractor (CUB).

The only exciting thing that happen was a truck that crashed into the median and well as you can tell it went up in flames. The traffic wait wasn't to bad it only added 8 minutes onto our trip. We did learn that the truck driver was ok and got out in time which is more then i can say for his truck poor guy.

You know this kid used to sleep the whole way on any trip (kind of like his mom used to). Yet now he stays awake the whole time except as it seems for the last few minutes of the ride. We were only miles away from the hotel when Ethan decided he wanted to take a nap.

Not sure how any kid sleeps in those care seats it looks so uncomfortable. So we checked into the hotel ordered some pizza and went to bed to await the hospital visit in the morning.
