We have been at Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe since Feb 13- so 3 days so far. We check out tomorrow and start our short 10 hour drive to Portland. I really do mean short because by comparison- 10 hours to get to Portland is short!
Ainsley's teething madness hit its peak once we got here. She's thrown herself down face first into just about every hard surface around--ice, snow, mud, sand, pavers, concrete, marble and some carpet. I've tried letting her sleep whenever she wants but she wakes up screaming and bloody. Poor kid. She's made most parts of the trip disappointing for me--if I am totally honest. I am extremely grateful that Avery has been able to get out and do some fun stuff with Stephen though.
From our travels Stephen and I have discussed starting a blog that rates places for their kid-friendliness (or unfriendliness). The internet, even as overwhelming as it is, just does not make it easy to find the best places to visit for young kids. Kid-friendly ratings seem to mean kids who are old enough to be without their parents. Surely families with young children can maintain some of their favorite hobbies and include their children...or are we wishing for too much?
Three more nights and we'll be staying in WA. We have a lot of great photos so we can at least say "we were here" but Stephen and I both know the trip was worthy of being an entire season of Survivor: Harding Family Van. Outwit. Outcry. Outlast.
