We headed southeast through Washington aiming for Oregon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We drove up and over the Snoqualmie Pass. It was gorgeous and cold. There was SO MUCH SNOW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We stopped and grabbed a quick bite to eat and shook out our legs a little before carrying on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We needed gas and came across this fruit and antique mall that was right beside a gas station and while Jon and Jude filled the truck; Siah and I ran through all three floors in a time that would have made Grandma Rathjen proud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was huge and filled with amazing treasures. You could have easily spent hours looking through it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dad, you would have LOVED looking through it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Siah particularly liked the jewelry and he\u2019s pretty sure he needs a cowboy hat to go with his black trench coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seriously! 3 floors of wonder and treasure. Amazing. We boogied down the amazing stairway and flew across the parking lot just as Jon was getting back into the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we got closer to Oregon, you notice the lack of evergreens as the land flattens out to more rolling hills and flat land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I happened to be looking at Google Maps as we approached Oregon and was warmly welcomed by this little pop up. We made it to Pendleton, Oregon and had booked a reservation at an RV site at a KOA Campground. We pulled in, hooked up and the boys immediate jumped on the internet to \u201crelax\u201d. Ha ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our site backed onto a gorgeous view of the Blue Mountains and after a late dinner, we shut it all down and headed to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is still mostly happy and happy to be on this epic road trip; but there\u2019s still time for that to change, eh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
