Sept 10th
Up at 7:30 (hard to keep the kids in bed once the sun comes
up) I sashayed over to Mom’s, put the coffee on, grabbed the paper then went
next door to Shanda’s and had a bowl of cereal and a banana. Then Shandas boy
friend Bob came over to get their coach ready for a drive to Lincoln City. Eventually
Tina joined me and we went back over to Mom’s for a short visit before saying
goodbye to everybody. Bob and Shanda pulled out around 9:30 and we followed
fifteen minutes later.

It was another beautiful day but traffic was fairly heavy
through Olympia. We stopped in Tumwater for fuel the pushed on south. Just
north of Portland we took the I-205 by-pass and avoided the Portland river
crossing and bridge mess. Bob and Shanda had cut over at Longview headed for
Ashland and ended up being stuck in a traffic jam for over an hour before
finally getting into Astoria and heading south on Hwy 101.
Once past Portland the traffic lightened up and we stopped
for lunch at a rest stop about 15 miles into Oregon. Once back on I-5 we pretty
much sailed on through keeping the speedo between 55 and 60 arriving in
Harrisburg and Diamond Hill RV Park about 2:30pm.

We got set up and spent the rest of the afternoon napping
and reading, having dinner about 6:30. After dinner we took the kids for a walk
around the park, took photos of the sunset and retired for the evening.
