Road trip - Day 4

Eugene, OR to Bellingham, WA

Day 4 was our longest day in the car. Leaving Eugene, our next big stop was Portland to visit Tom's sister. She had classes in the morning so we decided to follow a worn roadside sign to a "historical museum" in Brownsville, OR. The museum was closed but we did get a picture of the cute bridge over the Calapooia River.



In Portland we went to Washington Park. It was a great break from the car and the kids had a great time rolling down the grassy slopes.









After Washington Park we took a little sight seeing tour of the Alphabet District of downtown Portland.



The telephone poles on 23rd Street have been so covered by flyers, they bulge out several inches in width and they are totally white with sun-bleached paper.



After our drive through town it was time for Tom's sister to head back to class and for us to head north. I got a picture of Mt. Hood while sitting in traffic on the 405 bridge.



After dinner just south of Tacoma the two little ones fell asleep so we did not stop again. Seattle was looking beautiful as we passed through and I wish I could have taken a picture or two of the lit city and full moon.
