We're Here in Arlington, Oregon

Everything went as smoothly as possible on our three flights yesterday.  I had a whole row for our flight to Austin so I stretched out and slept.  We met a friend of Katie's from school who lives in our neighborhood.  Her mom works for Jetblue too...  small world!

I reserved a compact car from Budget and it turned out to be a Corolla - yay!  Their line was the only long one at the rental area...  I assume it's due to their low prices.  Having our GPS made getting to the right freeway simple.  I wonder if someday that will be a standard feature in vehicles...  We had to stop in Hood River and the nicest clerk gave me a box of doughnuts for my kids.  I love being reminded how small and simple acts of kindness can make a huge impact in the lives of others.

Arlington is a one hotel town.  It is like a Motel 6 and has no breakfast.  The kids were so glad to have something to tide them over until the family breakfast in a few hours.
