Spring Break Day 2

I'm trying to catch up on my Spring Break log... :D So, here's Day 2 of my Spring Vacation...

Tuesday morning, I loaded up, picked up my sister and the two of us headed to Portland to spend a couple days with my Grandparents (they are now in their 80's and I don't get to spend near enough time with them). We took my car this time, and are you ready..I actually drove! The whole way...even through the three lanes of traffic :D Of course, it really helped that my sister was my co-pilot...and she has NO fear, plus she's a pro at driving in big cities :D The only incident at all, was as I was pulling into my Grandparent's drive way (which is way little and the street they live on is way narrow....in my defense :D) and apparently I ran over their grass. My sister kept going on & on about it and was laughing so hard I just knew my car seat was going to end up wet...it's only grass I kept telling her!!! (Before my Grandparent's started to decline in their health, my Grandpa use to have the PERFECT, most BEAUTIFUL lawn on his block...and driving over it then would of be a big, HUGE NO-NO!)

Of course, the minute we arrived the rain arrived too....we unpacked, visited a bit, then headed to dinner...their treat to us...we ate at Burgerville...which I don't know why,but I just love...I'm thinking because we don't have one in Eastern Oregon :D Then, we went back visited some more, our cousin and her kids came and visited...and, then there was ice cream & popcorn. Oh, did I forget to mention that my Grandma always has two or three candy bowls that sit around...so, I pretty much ate non-stop the whole time!!! Just one of those little things that says Grandma... candy dishes filled with chocolates, hard candies, nuts...!!!

It was a great second day! And, whoooo hoooo I can now say I DID IT!!! I safely survived driving in the Portland area! And, I was praising God for his protection the whole way!!! Hope each of you found a candy dish in your day, just waiting to bring a smile to your day! Sweet blessings!
