This weekend we went on a little journey. We got off work on Monday about 1:00 PM, and
off we went. Our first stop was Florence,
Oregon at the Fred Meyers for fuel. Then
it was off to I-5 and heading north. We
need to head back up to Spanaway for some Doctor Appointments that Cyndy
had.
We were hoping to miss some of the Portland traffic jam, but
we ended up right in the middle of it.
The traffic is getting a little better, but it was stop and go untell we got to the Washington side of the Columbia River. Then it opened up and we were back up to speed and getting closer to home.
The kids did not know we were coming home so we got to
surprise them. It was really funny;
Cyndy called our daughter and asked to talk to Jared. He got on the phone and Cyndy asked him how
he liked his surprise in the mail, he really liked it. SO Cyndy asked him if he would like another surprise
and he said YAH!!! Cyndy said why don’t
you go to the front window and look outside.
He looked out through the window and had a big ear to ear grin, and
started talking real quietly to Cyndy, asking if she was coming in. Now Janice & Jeff couldn’t figure out
what was going on when he was standing by the window and laughing. They were all surprised and we had a good
visit.
Then we called our Jason and Lisa and asked them how things
were going and we went through the same thing with them. It was good to see all the grandkids and get
our hugs in.
We got up early Tuesday morning and headed out to all of the
doctor appointments, we only had 3 but it took almost all day. We also got Cyndy drivers license renewed while
home. So by 3:00 PM we were heading back
to see all of the kids one more time before we head out on Wednesday morning
bright and early.
We spent the nights at Denny & Rose and had a good visit
with them.
Turbo enjoyed Denny’s lap the most. I don't know who was sleeping sounder!!!
We really wanted to thank Denny and Rose for
putting us up for two night while we were there. Yes, we did play and game of hand and foot
and the girls won.
We got back down here late in the afternoon on Wednesday; it
was nice to be back in our own bed.
Today all we did was nothing but get a few things at the store and just
relaxed a little bit. Tomorrow it is
back to work for 4 days, then off for another 3 days.
