Bend here we come...

We left this morning for Oregon. We are breaking up the trip into two days. Today's destination was Redding. Mission accomplished. It was a long hot drive, made me very thankful we have air conditioning. We had our first stop at the Nut Tree. It was SO hot, the heat hit us like a ton of bricks as we opened the car doors. Kekoa was super excited when he saw the train there so of course we had to go for a ride. He was over the moon to ride a "choo choo Thomas", in fact he was so excited that he didn't take a nap the entire rest of the drive...3 hours more to Redding.
Redding was beyond hot, 101 degrees. As soon as we checked into our hotel room, we hit the pool. Kekoa couldn't wait to go "swimming". He was adorable in the pool, so happy to be swimming with his mama and baba.
After an interesting dinner at Applebee's, Kekoa was ready to go to sleep...he kept saying "sleepy with mama". We all went to bed together at around 7:00! It had been a long day.

Please mama, can we ride the "choo choo steamy"?

"All aboard"

Waiting so patiently for his turn on the train!

"All aboard" (check out Kekoa's rosy cheeks...it was sooo hot!)


All done and checking out the "choo choo steamy"


Bye bye Nut Tree.
