2nd trip to Oregon

So we left last Wednesday about 530 in the morning to head out for our long ride to Oregon. Almost the whole drive there it was either lightly snowing or raining, but all in all it wasnt' too bad of a drive until we got the Deadmans pass in Oregon. I could tell by the way the clouds looked that it wasn't going to be a pleasant drive through, and sure enough I was right. Every truck driver stopped on the right side of the road to chain up, and I was wishing we had chains at the time too, but obviously we did alright. So on to our fun...the whole reason for the trip was to surpise our friend Travis for his birthday, and in the post before this you saw that we tried to find a mask or something to disguise ourselves. We got pom pom hair and bandanas to cover ourselves up, it was ok for the time, but he knew it was us as soon as he opened the door..man, way to blow our cover. Anyway, that night we took it easy and got some pizza and watched The Happening, that movie was actually pretty good, not even scary. The next day we took the bus to downtown Portland, and I will tell you that we saw so many creepy people out there and yes, we were scared....no, we just felt a little out of place cause we weren't aspiring musicians trying to make money. We went to the mall, had some lunch and walked to our favorite doughnut shop which is Voodoo Doughnuts to grab a treat. Afterward we continued to walk around, but then we decided we had enough so we took the bus back home and got ready for some golf...geez. Of course we had to do some golfing for the boys entertainment, so we went to the childrens course they have and played 9 holes. Friday we all got ready and packed some stuff so we can go on the best part of our trip, we went to Depot Bay which is right next to the ocean...it was gorgeous, but of course, it was raining..bummer. We got there about 630 pm because we stopped at a casino on the way and lost our money, it was fun while it lasted. So we get to our condo and we were told by the guy at the desk that we have one of the best rooms, we had 3 rooms, 3 baths and a full kitchen, living room and fireplace. The best part of the room was the 3 balconys we had, they were all overlooking the ocean....aaaaahhhhhh.......so relaxing. Our room got a little hot during the night so Shawn opened our sliding door a bit and all we could hear were the seagulls, and waves crashing on to the rocks, it was so beautiful. Needless to say...it was raining, of course :( so we didn't want to go the beach and get drenched just for some pictures, so we just took as many as we could from out balconys. So it wasn't too long of a trip, but it was well worth the drive, we had lots of fun with our friends!!

This is the drive home...don't complain about snow until you've been through this. The snow was frozen to the road, and then the fresh snow was packed down, I was so scared driving through this twice.
