Trip to Vancouver (Thomas's Second Month part 2)

Thomas and I enjoyed spending time together and getting to nap when needed. I also worked on some projects. On the 9th we went  to my doctor's appointment to get checked up. It was a weird appointment only because my mom was on vacation still and wasn't there, like she had been in the past. Right after the appointment I headed to Boise. It was good to see Kenneth again and give him loves again. I went there because I was going with the boys and Tim's mom to Vancouver for a few days.

We headed out on the 10th in the morning after breakfast. It was a good but long long drive. I drove the first part until we stopped for lunch in Baker City at DQ so I could feed Thomas and Kenneth could get out.

Then we continued onward, for another couple hours until he had to eat again. At that stop I took off my wedding ring like I always did because it would cut into Thomas's skin and that made me sad to see or it would cut into my finger. Anyways so Tim's mom Cheryl didn't realize I had done that until after she had flipped the blanket it was on in Thomas's car seat and then we walked away because I spaced that I had it on until it dawned on me. Luckily the people that came to that spot right after us were a great family that all helped us look. Cheryl finally was able to find it in the grassed which was a huge relief to me. I just about cried thinking I wouldn't find it. So after that excitement we continued on.

Then again another couple hours later we decided to stop for dinner in Hood River. I was in the middle of telling Tim about almost loosing me ring, when we got into a car accident. Cheryl T-boned a car that came out in front of us in an intersection. Luckily both cars were fine and we were able to get off the busy road and exchange information. I fed Thomas during that time. Then Cheryl and I went into the Wal-mart that was there in hopes to find something quick to eat for all of us to hold us over until we got back to Vancouver.

Unfortunately by the time we got from Hood River to Portland was right around rush hour and so we decided to pull off again because Thomas wanted to eat again by that time. Once we finally got through that craziness and back home it was late and we were all tired of being in the car. Their neighbors were having a yard sale that weekend and allowed us to go over and look before others came. We were able to get some shoes for Thomas, puzzles for Kenneth, and a few other things as well. We enjoyed eating dinner and letting Kenneth have fun being crazy before we sent him to bed.
