Vacation Day One: Christmas

2:55 a.m. Tualatin:

"Mom, Dad!!!! Santa came!!!!" Abby yelled to us.

"That's great honey!" Kricket replied.

"Grrr-hmmm, grrrr." I said.

Kricket was able to coax Abby back to sleep, and we all came downstairs at seven or so for stockings, presents and Christmas breakfast. Grammy had gotten up at 0630, (after midnight mass no less,) and drove over to be at our house at seven.




Grammy got Abby a Wii Glee Karoke, (say that three times fast,) game. I think it will be a big hit.


Suzie was curious to see what Libby was doing.



We're spending the week in Victoria. Our plan was to get on the road by noon-ish, headed for Port Angeles, WA.

Kricket caught me singing "Don't Stop Believing," on Abby's new game and said we'd never get out of town if we didn't start packing the car.

Noon-ish turned into two-ish.

Eventually we got to Port Angeles, and checked into the Super 8. The restaurant next door was open 365 days a year, so we availed ourselves of fish & chips. Libby used her new camera
at dinner:




We finally got to sleep, ready to get up bright and early for the ferry to Victoria.
