Portland, OR, part 1

We got invited to go and attend the kids' cousin Landon's baptism. Things worked out so we could go and with my mother in law and her optimism cheering me on, I found myself booking a trip to Oregon...as the sole traveling parent...for nine days! After booking, I really began to second guess myself. 9 days alone away from home?! What was I thinking?! And then the day before going my kids got sick...all of them! Diarrhea and fevers. Now I really was second guessing my sanity! But, my mother in law, the eternal optimist pointed out that it was such a blessing that I booked 9 days! We would still have Call it insanity, but I planned a 9 day trip to Oregon...as the sole parent going! Eek! What's worse, is all of my kids got sick right before we were scheduled to go! Traveling with four kids alone is not very fun, but with sick kids is torture!

Puerto Rico

Flying into Puerto Rico. (You can see that there's still some tarps on rooms from the hurricane).

Fort Walton Beach, Florida

Allegiant had the perfect flights for us! They allowed us to have two separate weekend trips to Fort Walton Beach. It was pretty low key. We took ubers everywhere we went. We planned to get awesome pictures with a drone...until we found out we were too close to an airport. So this was the only picture I got. haha Oh well.
 

The next one we took everyone along.
