Christmas Vacation- On the road to Oregon

This year we decided to go on a little road trip for Christmas. Dan's brother and his wife live in Portland, Oregon and invited us to come up for the holidays. We thought it would be fun to surprise the boys with the trip and destination.

We woke up Christmas morning and had a simple breakfast. We told the boys that we were opening presents in the car and going to someone's house (little did they know it would take two days to get there and many miles on the road).  Needless to say, they were quite surprised and happy when they found out where we were going. The biggest attraction? The OMSI- Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. This place is incredible and Nathan and Jason have wanted to return since we went 2 1/2 years ago.

We stopped in Redding on Christmas night and stayed at a Travelodge. Nothing was opened for dinner so we dinned on what we could find at a 7-11. Oh what memories!!
 "Stockings" and presents!
