OR/WA Trip 2013 - Day 3

Sunday, March 10 ~ Day 3 of Our Trip
Jerome, ID to Clackamas, OR

After a much needed nights rest we were up about 6:45, got ready for the day, packed up all our stuff and then headed over to breakfast at the hotel.  We like to stay at Best Western's because most of them include breakfast in their rates which helps to offset our costs.

Breakfast included an omelet, mini-Belgium waffles, sausage, biscuits & gravy, orange & apple juice and coffee.  It was pretty good though the gravy could have been a little hotter.

We got on the road about 8:30 a.m. and made our way from one side of the state to the other.  The weather was overcast for most of the day but the sun did peak out at times.  Here are a few things we saw along the way.
Coming into Pendleton, OR.
Driving along Highway 84 heading to Clackamas.
An interesting camper we saw on the road.
One of the first glimpses of the Snake River.
Blue skies and another view of the Snake River.

Love God's handiwork: the mountains, the river, blue skies, beautiful clouds.
Dark clouds rolling in.
The sun peaking out through the clouds.
Different cloud formations.
Dark clouds, blue skies, Snake River.
 And arrived in Clackamas, OR at the home of our son, Brandon, his wife, Danalyn and our four grandsons: Max, Christopher, Treyson and Alexander!! about 5:30 p.m.
Alexander - 2 months 11 days!
Treyson ~ 21 months 13 days!
Christopher ~ self portrait ~ 14 days shy of his 5th birthday!
