Recent adventures

Oliver and I have been on the road A LOT lately. Enjoying some free time before I start working and Oliver goes to daycare. Flexibility will be greatly limited then. First we drove to Corvallis, OR for Kelly and Stefan's baby shower. We saw lots of kids and old friends. I tried to explain to Oliver that dad and I used to live there before he was a part of lives. I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe that such a time existed, because he pointed to a house and said "well I lived here too, in that house over there". Sometimes its best not to argue with an almost 3 year old.

Then we went with Anthony to Seattle for a couple of days so he could attend a conference. Oliver and I played in the big city while dad sat through boring lectures. We had a blast. Oliver loved the hotel room, the tall buildings and watching all the people. And I got a little dose of culture, good food and diversity. A much needed trip for every one.

And I'm pretty sure that Oliver is the best traveler ever. I couldn't ask for better company in the car from an almost 3 year old. If only he could drive for me and play all the music I want to hear.

Our hotel room was on the 26th floor. Oliver couldn't get enough of watching traffic from the window.
