Hello!
Hey you! Thanks for checking out my blog. This is my first ever post, and I'm excited to be able to share with you some details of my life. You see, I'm taking a road trip for the new year! My mom and her.... friend.... are headed to Seattle, WA where we are to bring in the New Year with our friend Kayla. Read more to see about the trip so far, and stay tuned for more!
Headed North
We started out by packing way more than we needed, and crowding out all my space in the backseat. Mom.... you're on notice. Seating arrangement aside, the trip was rather long and boring at first. We started on I-5, took a few rest stops along the way, before climbing through the mountains. This is where things got interesting.
The Mountain Pass
Headed through the mountains along the California and Oregon border, i kept my face forward, and my head out the window. The air was unlike any I had experienced, as its biting cold rushed across my face, there was no moment I had felt so alive. I loved the way it rushed across my cheeks, but it would seem my mother had other thoughts as she slowly closed the window until I got the hint it was tie to pul back inside.
Although it was not snowing, the white caps of nearby mountains and the frosted trees revealed it had snowed recently. I was desperate to get a piece of the action, but we had places to be.
First Stop: Medford, Oregon
Our first stop was at Medford, OR, where we stayed for the night to rest up for another drive. Rather uneventful, but Mom had fun:
Second Stop: Portland, Oregon
We arrived today at our second destination - Portland! I should fit right in amongst this city of the weird. We're set to visit the Columbia River Gorge tomorrow, which should be quite exciting! For now, its time to sleep.
