Oregon or Bust

At the first of July, we made an unplanned but much needed vacation  trip to Astoria, Oregon.  It was one of  the best vacations ever.and we were able to spend it with the family. So since i am not as good at this blogging thing as my daughter or my sister-in-law, this blog will be a bunch of pictures and maybe a few comments.  I have not learned how to manipulate blogger pics  so some of the pics may be out of order in sequence.

Savannah airport. Our journey begins.

Excitement filled the air that morning.  Here is Glenn and Dylan before going through security.   Guess who had to give up a banned security item.   He emptied his bag and didn't know the army Swiss knife was still in his bag.  Sorry he had to give it up.  The knife was given to him about 6 years ago.  Needless to say it was an embarrassing moment.  (And I do work for Homeland Security) Duh. Glad I didn't use my credentials as identification.   

Leaving Savannah.  Beautiful Sunrise

Atlanta airport. Here the boys are viewing our airplane. Drew was ok on the first leg of the flight but not to keen on the flight from Atlanta.  However, once on in the air, he did fine.   

Coming into Portland, OR. 

After getting through Portland and driving to Astoria,  we of course crossed the Columbia river.  Here is a logging business near the bridge.  Huge logs awaiting shipment to parts unknown.  I would imagine some  are exported to Korea, Japan and maybe some European countries; of course most stay here.  Hey Carmen, wonder if your log house is among these logs.

Well this is my first posting of our journey. (Still learning blogger)
