Snowed In

This past weekend Dan and I took the kids up to Portland to visit family and have a little Christmas with them. We were planning on staying Friday and Saturday nights and coming home on Sunday afternoon. Mother Nature had other plans. We literally got snowed in. It was incredible. There was so much snow in downtown portland that they were shutting down roads and highways in the city! We ended up staying overnight last night too because we thought the roads were going to be better today - not so much. Our drive home usually takes less than a hour, today it took over 3 hours! AAAHHHH!!

Livy and the boys were having a blast in our hotel rooms! They were so great - even though we were displaced.

The hill by Dan's dads home. It was eventually blocked off.

Our van this morning.








The I-5 at the 217 interchange







Headed out of Porland - we were driving about 30 MPH










Someone got a little sleepy....










Ahhh, finally on the other side of Salem.. no snow.
