Day Trip!

Mr. Hanley and I packed up and headed down to Eugene yesterday! At 2 months old, this kid has been up and down the I-5 more times than I can count but this time it was just the 2 of us! It was a perfect day for a drive.

The original reason for my drive to Eugene was to pick up a bag of goodies from Tammy (Thank you again Tammy!) and a few other various things while we were there for Christmas.  So, I thought it was a good chance for Hanley and I to make a day in Eugene out of it.

My Mom has been working at a new school for the past 2 years and I haven't been there yet. So, I thought this was the perfect chance to meet her for lunch, see where she works and meet some of her co-workers. She happens to work with our friend Veronica as well. So, Hanley and I arrived a little early so we could catch her at her lunch as well. I think Grandma and Hanley both enjoyed their time together.

After lunch, we went over to Jess and Nathan's house. They were home with the kids. Madison was very interested in seeing "Baby Hanley" and Adien played quietly with his legos.  He's almost 5  years old and I am pretty sure he was putting together projects that were more age appropriate for a 7 or 8 year old.  Yes, I was very impressed! I laughed when it was time to feed Hanley. When placed him under the hooter hider, Madison said, "Baby Hanley went back in Chelsea's tummy!" Oh, she is just too cute. It was nice to spend some time with them and not feel rushed.  A lot of times we see them as we are heading out of town and it ends up just being a quick visit.

We were back on the road just in time for Hanley to take another nap (He's been up and down the I-5 several times but has never actually seen it-he's always passed out! Since there is no much to see anyways, he's not missing out on anything!). We even beat Cody home from work by about 15 minutes or so.  That's not saying a whole lot though because he has been working longer days lately. Unfortunately, they are just going to get longer so I guess I should hold off on the complaining :o)
