The Road to MN - Day Three

Woke up this morning and Chris’ back is a still pretty bad, but not quite as bad as it was last night. We decided to see how it felt at the end of the day. Our drive today took us along the scenic Oregon coast. It’s like no other place I’ve ever visited. Huge rock formations jutting out of the ocean. Large waves crashing up on the rocks. Crystal blue sky making it all the more beautiful. With Chris’ back still shot, we didn’t spend much time stopping to take in the sights. Our main goal was to try to get to our friends the Blocks in time for dinner. So, after lunch, we headed inland to hook up with I-5 to whisk us up to Portland. We pulled in to Dan and Eileen’s house by 6:15pm. We enjoyed catching up on each others lives over a dinner of burgers and dogs. The kids played a new PS2 game called Guitar Heroes. It’s an interactive game were you play guitar to classic guitar songs, kind of like Dance Dance Revolution, only with plastic guitars. Dan and I also took a turn and it was great fun. Looks like a great Christmas gift idea.
