Oregon - Day 10

Day 10 - Baker City to Home - August 12, 2018

Today we finish driving home. 

Checking out the sites near the supercharger.

In Boise. You can see the temple spires behind us. 

Twin Falls. 

Our last charge in Tremonton before making it home. 

Next up is a short trip to Island Park over Labor Day. 

Oregon - Day 9

Day 9 - Portland - August 11, 2018

Today we had to check-out of our beach house. We hit some sights in Portland then started our long drive home. 

Ada was in no mood to wake up for the day. 

One last visit to the beach and some nearby tide pools. 

Even Lyla was all-in in her jammies. 

Isaac trying some Oregon shroom.

Hugs goodbye. 

What's that I spy? Salt & Straw? Since this visit (March 2024) we've made it a point to visit whenever one is anywhere close to where we're visiting.  I think we've visited about 15 of their locations in the last 5-6 years. 

We, of course, stopped at Multnomah Falls on our eastward journey. 

Never too many photos of waterfalls. We don't have good ones in Utah. 

Well, here was the real goodbye. Marstons off to Houston and Squires off to Utah. 

We stopped at one of the fish hatcheries along the Columbia River. 

Where we found bigfoot. 

Action shot of Al and her dinner. 

Lyla was the only one of us who had never been to Washington, so we crossed the bridge got out of the car and made sure to document this moment. 

Tomorrow we finish driving home. 

Oregon - Day 8

Day 8 - Whale Watching - August 10, 2018

Today our adventure was to head out to sea for a little whale watching. 

Alison and I went on a walk first thing in the morning. Stopped by some tide pools.

If I ever make a rap album, this will be my cover. 

Ada and Ella at the marina. 

Sea dogs waiting for any fish scraps. 

Here we go!

Look at these little sailors.

Success!

Lots of sea lions. 

Isaac.

Lyla.

Alison is totally in her element. 

Grandma keeping the grandkids warm in the cabin. 

Lyla and I ended the day spending a few hours on the beach making sand castles.  This was lots of fun. 

Our creation was pretty impressive, I must say.

Ended the day with the nightly dance party!

Tomorrow we check-out and start the drive home.
