It is a looong way by car to California by car! And hot too, across the Nevada desert.
We found a great park in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and a gorgeous Oregon sunset that seemed to last forever.
Zeke put us on the map in our campground in Oregon, which was our break point in our drive both ways.
I packed bunches of coloring pages, toys, games, puzzles, DVDs, and more to keep the kids entertained for 20+ hours in the car. Nora went through most of her stash and she colored a lot. And napped too :)
Zeke spent most of his time holding our GPS and watching our route on the map and out the window. By the end of the trip, he was also playing the license plate game with his aunts and uncle. Most of the drive was either desert or forest and not much to see, but there were a few unexpected surprises. Zeke was looking for several random items from a sheet grandma gave him. Somehow we managed to get them all before we started home! Who knew that we would see basketballs by a house in the middle of the forest, or firefighters driving through the park where we were having lunch?
Self-made 'rest stop' in the middle of nowhere, Nevada.
