2016 Summer Sweat: Issaquah, Umatilla, Twin Falls

First stop: Issaquah, Washington - Motel 6 just east of Seattle on the I-90

Review: Expensive for a Motel 6 ($107 US)
Good pool - warm
renovated rooms
Close by: Arco gas station / IHop
- We probably wouldn't stay here again - we can get farther than this if we leave right away and there is no fear of long weekend.

Second stop: Umatilla, Oregon - Tillcum Inn on the I-82

Review: Well.... nice people and good little pool. BUT, really cold and windy air con or really hot without it - no sleep and a super strong, attacking shower. Great water pressure - but ow! Loud and heavy up all night people above us.
Close by: "Sports Bar" (strip club)
- We will definitely not stay here again. There were a couple of spots just ahead on our drive that would have made better stops. Or even Kennewick right behind us would have been good. We stayed there in the spring.

Third stop: Twin Falls, Idaho - Motel 6 - nope - pool closed / Shilo Inn

Review: Expensive but we like ($164 Can.)
Indoor pool
Sofa bed and two TV's with kitchenette
Free breakfast
Close by: EVERYTHING: Ross, Sharis, KFC, Target... everything.
We will probably stop here every time. It seems to work for us.

Memories so far:

Puff but - jumping into the swimming pool and Big Boy's shorts getting a big air pocket and squishing out the bubbles.
Driving and finding pictures in clouds.
McDonald's without Play Grounds - BOOOO!!

Ankle Day 13

It costs 30 000Rp for half an hour to use the computer at this hotel! I pay like 2 000 back by my old place. It bugs me that it is so expensive... but I guess I am paying for convenience. I am stuck. I can't run away and I can't do what I want when I want. I am dependent on other people and it is great that I have those people.. but I am so independent.. that it is ... sucking in my brain. Ya know? I AM the kid who will run home and go to bed when she is done. I can't do that now. I have to wait or ruin people's fun. WHA! hahaha.. I am fine. Everyday is getting better and today is off to the doctor. It will be Sam's first time meeting Dr. Brown! Today at 12 is also the last day of my antibiotics! Sam is making me ask the doctor if I can have beer... there will always be that double standard! He is taking care of his sister.. but come on.. I had a screw put in my ankle I deserve a beer!! They shoulda had a cold Bintang besar waiting for me as they woke me up from my

California Toddler Tripping: The Last Few Days and Home

Here are a few photos and a video from the last few days of our vacation. This was the best family vacation to date. Of course there were tough times traveling with a toddler but we overcame each challenge as a family and amazing memories were made. I feel very lucky and appreciative to have such an amazing life. AND… one more video: And then… back to the rain :-( We got another patch for Auntie Mary's quilt.
