Oregon is Beautiful!

We landed yesterday at 2:45 pm. It was only 75 degrees, sunny and gorgeous. So many trees! Right off the plane we were overwhelmed with 3 kids, 8 suitcases, a stroller, carseat, diaper bag, laptop, and ourselves... A very nice lady named Val was just oohing and ahhing over our boys, offering them snacks and juice and saying "i know how hard it is to travel with little ones..." Well, in a fortunate twist, Val's son, Robert, worked for the airport, and she insisted he help us with all of our things and take us to the car rental window. I got Val's address to send some pictures of her and the boys, how much do you want to bet Val and Robert are getting a thank you gift from us? They saved the day! So immediately, i decided that Oregonians are "good people".

We got to our hotel and it's lovely. Had a very nice HEATED pool which we went for a dip in last night. The kids are having a great time - when i was little, my fave part of vacation was the hotel. They are def. impressed, but looking forward to the zoo. I headed out to the local Target last night for snacks and toilet paper, and they had a much larger Boots No. 7 section than my local Target back home. So guess what i picked up?


The pictures don't really show the beautiful green and purple shadows. And the box isn't as big as the brow box, so this isn't a bad thing to toss in your bag for touch ups. Plus, it's just so dang cute and you know you have to agree with that! PLUS! It was on clearance for $3.98 and was the last one. If your store carries these items, GO NOW!

so day one, a few hours in, i've already managed to purchase a cosmetic. ugh. And i'll not tell the story about how i dreamed of Sephora last night. hee hee!
