Anyways we left after work on Friday - and hit the road. I actually took some pics this time!
Here is a wonderful citizen of our fine state
I think the gun is my favorite part. You probably cant see the whole bumper sticker but it says "Love My Country, Fear My Government"
Yeah!
Here is another pic of us on the road

Anyways - We got a sweet deal for lodging thanks to my awesome sister. Springhill Suites are pretty kick ass - we got a nice LCD tv for our room!
The night was fairly short - meet the lady friend. She seemed nice enough
Next day - we started off with a task I seem to always complete in a strange town.......... check out the local mall.

Anyways after the mall - we headed to the OREGON VORTEX!!!!
Ever been to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz......... we this is exactly the same thing! A complete waste of 9 dollars. Ok, thats not fair - our trip did provide some good material for jokes throughout the rest of our trip.
Here are some vortex pics:

Nice trip to Applebee's after the Vortex - here is a pic of the kids

Me & Jason went to see the Dark Knight later that day and it kicked major ass - just like everyone said. Later that evening we went to a local bar called - SHANANIGANS!! Awesome huh? I included some crappy cell phone pics from inside the bar - including one that I tried to have taken of me under the lighted sign
Actually my new cell took most of these photos so I think it did ok.

Anyways - Thats a wrap on this trip for now.
adios
