William got to go on his first big road trip, visit the beach, and meet a lot of important people! We left Pendleton on Monday, February 11 around 9 AM. On our way to Lincoln City, we stopped in The Dalles where he met Great Grandma Bev and Uncle Bill (oh, and Sharyn Smith, his baby sitter, too!). We then headed to Portland where we had dinner with Great Grandma and Grandpa Cain. After dinner, we drove to Lincoln City for his first stay at the beach. We arrived that night around 11 PM, so Will and I went to bed while Thomas took Ginger out for her promised beach run.
On Tuesday morning, Uncle David met us at the beach and William got to breathe in his first breath of salty ocean air. He slept the entire time in his Ergo and kept me really warm on the windy beach. We drove down Highway 101 on Wednesday on our way to Drain. We stopped in Newport, Waldport, and Florence. We actually got a little sun in Florence and took William out to enjoy a few rays of sun on the beach.
We arrived in Drain on February 13 in the evening and Will got to meet everyone that had been waiting so patiently to meet him in person-- Great-Great Grandma Dee, Great Grandma Hess, Aunt Candi, Uncle Tanner, Aunt Alley, and Uncle Andrew. While we were in town he also got to meet many other family members. Of course, Grandma Jocelyn, Aunt Hannah, and Aunt Jessica also got to have more snuggle time with the little mister!
On our way back home on February 19, we stopped at WOU and got to show Will off in the science, humanities, and education departments. It was good to see everyone and share William with them.
We had a great trip and William was the perfect traveler. We can't wait for many more road trips and many more trips to the beach! Ok, ok...I know...enough of the jabber. Here are the pictures.
