I'm Still Alive!

I've been on vacation for awhile, but now I'm back! I have so much to share and it'll take awhile, so check back often because I have hundreds of photos from our trip to Newport, Oregon. Don't worry, I won't bore you with them all. We had such a great time. I'll just post little bits at a time.

"Wow, I can't believe we fit so much junk in the car!"This is us at our first rest area. It amazes me how many times we have to stop.Aw, aren't we cute together!Our first stop on our trip was The Tillamook Cheese Factory. Yum! For a lady who can't handle milk products, it was a challenge. Let's just say, the rest of the trip was a gas. Watch out, Eli, that cow is gonna charge.Boy, he sure got a kick out of those fake cows. This is where they make the yummiest cheese in the world. I wonder if one day I'm going to buy one of those. It would be strange having people stare at you while you work. Free samples! I broke down and bought ice cream. Oh yeah! Oh, ow! It was painful, but well worth the trouble.

Eli kept stealing bites from everyone. We finished it all off with soda and fudge. Did I tell you that I gained some weight this week? Both Steve and I feel like blimps. The kids were pretty wiped out by the time we got to Newport. But, the view was outstanding. This is one of only a few days that wasn't foggy. We had a great time. There is more to see, so stay tuned.
