heading to a new home

Posted on 14. Aug, 2008 by Scott D.

We had a great drive down from Portland a few days ago. My very cool in-laws flew up to help us drive our two cars down (and Shana got a new Prius hybrid) and help deal with cranky kids. We stopped for a night in Ashland, and it was wonderful. Perfect artsy town with great food and musicians that come out with night to play for people. (And not like a guy with an open guitar case, one person brought his entire marimba and xylophone set. It was really surreal.)

Here are some more pictures from our time in Portland and our trip down to Fresno.

We left off from the last post in Oregon at the Newport Aquarium. There was a diver cleaning one of the large fish tanks, and Madison kept waving to him (her?) and making cute eye-contact until he finally pulled out his regulator (breathing thingy) and blew bubbles at her and waved. She was very impressed.

Madison flirted with the diver in the aquarium tank.

It was a dirty tank, I guess.

Madison loves the waves

I needed more pictures of the Lowry’s with us at the beach… little Reagan fell into the waves and I plucked her out and she was none too happy. You can see more of those pictures here.
