DAY 1-2: Left Orange County ended up in Oregon
We took off from the homestead about 2:08 in the afternoon, Thursday. We took I-5 straight up to Suisus City to visit Wella's brother. We encountered road contruction twice which added an extra 2 hours to our trip and so we got to the house late. But we had a good visit all the same.
Wella's sister-in-law runs a day care in her home and Kianna was in heaven playing with all the toys that evening and then with the kids that were there the next morning.
We then left around 11AM and shot up to Medford, Oregon. What a beautiful drive that was. As soon as we got to the more forested areas it was just gorgeous. We booked a night at the Rogue Regency Inn here in Medford. I wanted to stop a little early so we could have some pool time with Kianna. She absolutely loved it and we all had a great time in the water and jacuzzi. This hotel is really nice because they offer all sorts of great services. They even gave us coupons for two complimentary drinks for dinner. I had a pint of Alaskan Amber (nice!) and Wella had a soothing glass of White Zinfandel (chick drink).
I just checked the internet for when the Kite Festival will begin and it is August 16-22 in Long Beach, Washington. Check out the specs here: http://www.kitefestival.com/
