Not since the boys played "Oregon Trail" has the name of that state been in our vocabulary very often, but here we are. Traveling from the east coast to the west coast always makes day 1 a challenge. Jan and I were up about 5:30. Liam joined us to make sure we did everything we were supposed to do. Jesse chauffeured us to the airport. Six hours and change later and we made it to Seattle.
Our rental car is a Nissan Versa. You see it featured in ads where a young daughter frets that her parents only have a handful of Facebook friends, which means they will be shut-ins. That turns out not to be the case for her parents or for us. However, the car is pretty small. It doesn't really have a trunk.
On the plus side there is no sales tax on meals served in Oregon. Even though it didn't appear on our bill this evening, Jan asked the waiter to verify it, because she enjoyed hearing the news so much.
Tomorrow we are off to Mount Hood, which is clearly visible from Gresham where we are staying this evening. You'll start seeing images then.
