Where were you? What were you doing?
Considering that this phenomenon will not happen again within our lifetime, I decided it had to be documented in my 365 Project. It was interesting to set this up with other people watching with curiosity. In fact, there is a fellow just off to the right in the hot tub smiling at us while the camera snapped away on Self Timer mode. This will be a great memory to pass on to our Grandkids and Great Grandkids so that they can see their Ya Ya and Papa G living life, not letting life just pass by. I want my future generations to be motivated and excited about exploring the world and living life to the fullest for as long as is possible. We live in a very mobile world where it is easier and easier to travel the world over and experience life on a level that my parents never did. And I never did either until recently – within the last ten years. And I’m now hooked!
And I’m doing it with my Best Friend!
“Weather forecast for tonight: dark.” George Carlin
We’re still travelling . . . and this is a late night on the road. We spent a bit too long at the Woodburn Outlets in Oregon and so are arriving late at our destination for tonight. Baby Girl is in the back seat jabbering away at us, singing songs along with the radio . . . a very pleasant and fun drive even tho it was late and dark. She has been a bright shining light on this trip. For a two year old, she is an incredibly happy little traveler.
I keep saying this, but it’s so true . . . she is so much like her mother at this age. We traveled every summer from California to Canada from the time she was a baby. And she was always a happy little traveler, going with the flow whatever we did.
I took this shot with my iPad as a Semi Truck was passing us. I liked the effect with the red tail lights . . .

Road Trip!!
We’re on our first leg of a 4 day road trip to California with the baby. This picture is taken at the Pacific Border Crossing between Surrey, BC and Blaine, WA. We’ve got a six to seven hour drive ahead of us to just south of Portland, OR. Baby Girl is snuggled in and happy. What an awesome little traveler she is too. It took an hour to get through the border, and another 20 minutes to Bellingham where we gassed up. She’d been in the car two hours by then, with no fussing what so ever. I let her out to run around at the Fred Meyer in North Bellingham while hubby gassed up the car. The rest of the trip was uneventful with just a couple of rest stops for food and stretching our legs. I did load up my iPad with a few of her favorite shows, which kept her entertained during part of the trip. For much of the time she either slept, or chatted with us or herself, and sang songs . . . one of the most fun drives south I’ve had in a long time. We’ll be two days at my son’s south of Portland before we head out again.
The Road Trip continues . . .
