Holiday Inn Exp Stes Eugene

... was playing the UWyoming game).

As hard as it was to leave our amazing hotel room we had to move along to finally make it to the end of our trail, Oregon! Immediately after passing the border Andrew got out of the car to pump our gas only to have the station attendant look at him questionably, as we forgot that pumping your own gas in Oregon is illegal. We then passed through the beautiful farmlands and scrubland of ...

It is with such heartache that I share with you our little Lola has been killed. Not having a yard I always feel guilty that she doesn't have the chance to run. We went to the dog park here in Eugene. She was brutally attacked by a Mastiff. She didn't even see it coming. It wasn't fast, or clean, he didn't go for the neck, instead her belly.

There is only one savings ...

... 3 hours later when the sprinkler system went off on our faces. There's nothing quite like getting woken up not knowing where you are and for some reason you're soaking wet. ha We were a little stressed at the time, but having memories like that are worth it. Once we woke up when the sun was rising, we went to the Campus bookstore and got a t shirt. We then headed towards Beaverton and Portland.

... the corner. Since we all were tired we wanted to go back to the hotel and get some sleep.
The Hotel had an outdoor Pool. But since it was dark the Kids couldn't make much use of it. Next morning we had to leave early to manage to get to San Jose in time. So we could have stayed at an even cheaper hote. So we know better next time. In the end I can't tell anyyhing about Springfield or Eugene at all. Something we have to explore next time.

... to lose Greg before the first fuel stop but due to not paying attention and the **** bike comms we had all purchased. Then during the course of the day Roger managed to break away too leaving Tim and I who never let each other get out of site after that. Mad dogs and Englishmen (not even mad dogs) go out in 100 + degrees in a black leather biking jacket but not one of ...

... on the inside, then went out to find a thermometer to put inside this thing so I know how hot I'm working with. The solution ended up being quite simple... Jerry's has a magnetic thermometer that is for wood-stoves. It's designed to stick to the base of the chimney I think (to tell you if you're getting close to a chimney fire), and it goes up to about 800F. It's all metal, including the readout, so the whole thing can sit inside a very hot environment and not be any worse for wear. So ...

... us broadside. We stopped a small fishing village called Bandon,( I have no idea why it isn't "A-bandoned" with the strength of the cold wind hitting it!)it has many "historic buildings" and definitely required a bathroom stop, when we stepped out of the Castle, if we didn't think we required one before, we definitely did when the wind hit us. Yep it is still a cold wind! We walked around and spotted a coffee shop and decided that it was worth paying for a ...

This morning we hung out at our cabin as long as possible with breakfast (leftover bread, fruit and cheese) and whale watching.  After heading out we drove North to Newport.  Here we visited the Oregon State Aquarium.  Although impressive, I have to say, there's nothing quite like seeing animals in their natural habitat.  The aquarium ...
