Vake did so well on our first day of vacation- we left our house pretty early (those of you who know Eric know that he likes to be a total early bird to the airport). We arrived and had plenty of time to check in to our flight to Chicago.
The flight to Chicago was a piece of cake- we made it there in about an hour and fifteen minutes. Vake watched videos for most of the flight (that's the one true benefit of restricting t.v. access that I can see- they are FIRED UP to watch videos for hours at a time when you let them).
Unfortunately, we had a really really long layover in Chicago- I definitely wouldn't do it that way again- I think travel is just so busy in the summer that it was our only option. The flight to Portland was also easy- it was LONG and the DVD player batter gave up the ghost in hour 3 but Vake was perfectly happy to do other things.
Once we got to Portland and got our rental car, Vake was willing to snooze for part of the apr. 4 hour drive to Florence- we hit a little snag at the very end of the trip when the poor pumpkin got super carsick- so that was too bad- we showed up at the end of 16 hours of travel with a vomit covered Vakey and Mommy.
Have to say, if I had it to do all over again, the change that I would make would be to stop in Portland overnight then tackle the Portland-Florence leg the following am...

Do tell the pathetic part--when you traversed the twisty road over the coast range, the poor little tyke kept saying " Daddy, S-T-O-P Stop!" and Daddy didn't get it, until B-A-R-F barf. Then, when you put him in the shower in the guest bath at Uncle Mark's lake house, body had used it in a long time, and it rained spiders! Left Bank Granny
