Arrival in Oregon

The view descending into Las
Vegas (note how dry this
lake is)
Today, we all awoke at 4:00 AM to leave for Baltimore-Washington Intl. Airport, where we boarded a Southwest plane bound for Las Vegas. We had great travels, and our connecting flight landed fifteen minutes early at PDX. My Grandpa picked us up and drove us to their new, and certainly impressive, condo in Newberg. The neighborhood is very beautiful, with views of mountains in opposite directions. My Grandma took us on a "driving tour of Newberg," where we saw the drive-in movie theater, the house where my dad grew up, the elementary and high schools he attended, the house where my great-grandparents once lived, and the George Fox University. This was all topped of by ice cream at Jem 100. Back at the home front, we had hamburgers, corn on the cob, and watermelon for diner. Tomorrow we drive south to Medford and ride a jet-boat on the Rogue River.

    Wow, that first picture of the SW plane is awesome.. you should send it to the airlines so they can advertise. Did you see your dad's middle school, Springbrook? And are you guys gonna go to a drive in movie this week? That would be awesome!

    We did see the high school and saw Mission Impossible at the drive-in. Great experience!
