Ok so we went to Portland and to Seattle. It was a great trip. With a few exciting times. We drove so that was fun. We got up at 5:00 am and were out of the house by 6:00, But I forgot that Caitlyn sometimes get car sick. I remember this when we got to Bountiful were she said mom my stomach hurts, then she turned white and Mike could no

t get off the freeway fast enough. She throw up in the car. (Mikes car. Bad!) So we had to stop and clean her and the car and Mike since she was sitting behind him. (I know Mary you are laughing i can hear you.) For those of you who don't know Mike is OCD.
So we got to Portland about 7:30 there time 8:30 our time. We had dinner with My dad.We stayed two nights with him. The kids had fun having jam sessions with my dad and all of his guitars.

We went to the Portland zoo had a great time. Then we cooked hot dogs and hamburgers buy the lake. Then off to Eugen the next morning to see Mikes Grandma. Who lives about 2 hours from my dads house. When we got there she was not feeling good so we only stayed for a hour then off again to Seattle an 7 hour drive if traffic is good. (witch was not) So we got to Seattle late that night about 8:30 -9:00. We spent three nights at Grandma Kathy's witch one of them was the 4th of July. We had the best time. We spent the day at the Bellview City park. They had fun things for the kids to do, good food and live entertainment. Then the Fireworks were the best we have ever seen. They had a live orchestra playing dunning the fireworks. It was awesome. Then on Saturday we went to Pikes Market my favorite place to go. We got some yummy sea food and went home and cooked it yummmmm. Taylor wanted to try clams this time so we got some and he loved them . Smart kid. Then got up at 5:00 am on Sunday left a
