Oden Adventures

We left early on New Year's Eve morning...but not as early as planned...after settling in & reviewing the safety procedures...

 ...we found out that due to fog in San Jose (?!), we had to wait, and wait, and wait in Ontario to take off.  After an hour of sitting, we left about the time we should have been arriving, but still made it to PDX on time since we'd only shortened a two-hour layover. 

We spent New Year's Eve at Mom/Grandma Gustafson's with the Blairs and had way too much great food and tried our hardest to stay up 'til midnight after a long day!

 When it's sunny & dry in January in Oregon, one must take advantage of it & take a walk into town.
