We are back home after our time out in Oregon. We are pretty wasted from our travel day today. Our flight was really early in the morning in Oregon, but at least it was a nonstop. The flight was actually hot, and there was this constant bathroom line for the last 2 hours of the flight which was weird. Then we lost our gate and had to sit on the runway for an additional hour (I did a grampa Simpson change into my short sleeved tshirt on the plane in my seat I was so friggin' hot). Oh the joys of NY area airports! We touched down at 2:30 and we did not drive out of long term parking until 4:30 (only to meet the traffic in Queens!). JFK is a pain in the arse. At least we did not get stuck in some random connection city. The terminal for Delta really gets me on edge. It is loud, crowded, and disorganized. You should have seen us wandering around trying to find departures on the way out. I have never been confused about such a thing before in an airport (except for the car return in Paris with the incorrect airport map).
We headed first to visit Pat, Lhes, and Shua. Shua was pretty excited when we got there and immediately was seeking playmates. It was cute. We ended up camping the night we arrived at Mirror Lake (near Mt. Hood). Shua was dancing with his flashlight, playing in the lake, and singing. The sky was clear and amazing. We spotted a ton of satellites and occasional shooting stars. We tested the echo across the lake which was OK since we were the only ones camping there! Lhes and Shua did well for their first backcountry excursion. The party was over in the morning since Shua did not feel good. Poor little guy. He kept saying he did not like camping! I think he is OK with camping again now. When we got back, we played Wii and found out how unfit we are on Wii fitness.
