UPDATE:  We made it to Seattle, but the day was long and I’m exhausted.  So, I will post in the morning (yes, I really will!).

I had planned to do updates tonight, but my kids arrived today, so the video games are trumping jeeps for the evening.

We are heading to Seattle in the morning to spend the week up there.  However, I decided to plan a stop in Baker City and, finally, check out the “Paint Your Wagon” exhibit at the Oregon Trail Regional Museum.  As a LONG time fan of the movie (Dad was a fan and, for better or worse, passed on the legacy) I have always wanted to stop there, but wanted to bring the kids along.  And, yes, I can sing every song on the sound track, most by memory.  That’s what happens when you get trapped on road trips in your parents’ motor home as a kid for hours at a time with only a few eight track tapes in the motorhome — you hear the same ones over and over and over.
