Day one of our vacation has come and gone, and boy are we happy to be out of the car!! We drove for about 8 1/2 hours yesterday to get to Wilsonville, Oregon. I was looking for a hotel near the Tulip Festival we wanted to go to and on Priceline I made an offer of $35 for a 3 star hotel, and it got us one in Wilsonville. SCORE! It took us about 8 1/2 hours to get here. We stopped twice to feed the baby. Both times because she was crying and hungry and both times the only option was McDonald's! After eating McDonald's twice in one day I think it's safe to say we'll be avoiding it the rest of the trip! Paiton did great, she watched some Dora and Toy Story, read her books, and talked to us. She slept for about an hour after breakfast, and for about 2 hours after lunch. We realized we just need to stuff her with food and she'll sleep!! :) The last 2 hours of the drive we were in a torrential downpour and it was really hard to see. It was NOT fun! We didn't stop at Multnomah Falls like we wanted because 1) we would have been washed away and 2)Paiton was asleep. So we decided that on the way home rain or shine we were going to stop and take some pictures!!
Here she is ready to go!
Watching Toy Story:
When we got here we got settled and then went swimming!! Paiton LOVED it! She is such a little fishy! She kept saying "Go!" like she thought we might just let her go to swim away! She had a blast! (Oh and GO is her newest word. Now that she is walking all she wants to do is "Go!" It basically means Put Me DOWN!!)
Baby Got Back!!! Check out this badonkadonk!!
Ready to rest!
After swimming we were exhausted. The night before Paiton and I slept maybe an hour total because she was for some reason crying all night. So we both fell asleep around 7:30 last night!! It is 8 am here and Paiton and Matt are still asleep! She will be ready for some fun today!!
It is raining again today. We are going to check out the Tulip Festival this morning, although we are not sure how that's going to go since it's a big field and it's pouring rain....Then I think this afternoon we are going to take Paiton to a Children's Museum we found in Portland across from the zoo! How fun!!
I will update again with new pictures of our 2nd day!!
