It was pretty cold the first night. We woke up to single digit temperature and icicles on the camper and truck.
Our campsite in Lake Shastina during the day.

We drove most of the day, but made sure to stop at one of Wiley's favorite Mexican restaurants, Mucho Gusto, in Medford, OR.
We drove by Multnomah Falls (WA). Unfortunately, it was dark. You can just barely make out the white strip of water in the background. Try clicking the picture to enlarge it.
On night 2, we camped in Cascade Locks, WA. It was a quiet, but beautiful, little mountain town.
Cascade Locks is the home of the Bridge of the Gods.
Wiley thought this was a pretty funny sign.
Day 3 - 12/24/09
After a much warmer and better night of sleep, we got on the road for Day 3 aka Christmas Eve. We made a slight detour to Richland, WA for Spudnut Donuts (www.spudnutshop.com). Spudnuts are donuts made from potato flour. They were pretty tasty.
While in Richland, we found quite possibly the coolest park ever. It had running/walking trails right next to the river, tons of open grass area, and a huge playground with a zip line, rock climbing walls, swinging benches, and stuff we've never seen before.
Can you see the zip line with the swing attached? So much fun!
Other than a flat tire on I-84 going through WA, we had a pretty smooth drive. We arrived at Wiley's parent's house in Liberty Lake in the afternoon. After a marathon session of present opening and a great Christmas Eve dinner, we called it a night.
Christmas
Merry Christmas! We had a great day of eating, more presents, walking the dogs up the hill, more food (especially delicious cookies), and hanging out with the family. We hope everyone had a great day.
