One of the pit stops we made to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs was at a waterfall, Salt Creek Falls. We walked over to actually go look at it so that i could go take some pictures of it. Here's a few pictures from the falls.
Me and my daughter
I took a few pictures in the after this stop, here's those.
Took this just from the car while driving(my mom was driving)
She kept trying to hide from the camera but managed to get this one.
I was honestly surprised how well that my daughter did on the trip. She hardly got fussy, got in and out of the car very well at our rest stops. She even used the potty at the gas station lol.
First thing we did once we got into town was to check into the hotel. Was a little jealous of my dad's hotel at the time because he went to Spokane Washington the same weekend and got upgraded to a suite. Our room worked for us, but my mom doesn't like being on the second floor and my daughter tends to run/stomp.
Though we weren't staying for very long, my daughter put her shoes away after we got there.
She likes to just climb right into bed when in hotels. Which i find adorable as i have a picture i took of her all tucked into a hotel bed in her first hotel stay.
I didn't really take any pictures of my family when we went to visit them that night, it was starting to get dark and i don't like getting attacked by bugs, so me and my daughter only stayed a short bit before my mom drove us to the hotel and then went back herself. I spent a good bit in the hotel compared to visiting family. Gets a little hard to try and talk to them when you basically get left out and/or don't want to deal with people drinking.
So anyways, went back to the hotel and being like a lot of people(or i'd assume a lot of people...maybe really just a small amount of people lol) i took the chance to get some selfies lol. I didn't like most of the ones i got, but got some decent ones. One of the pictures was just before the memorial service.
Daughter playing with the mirror, you can see her Seatpet on the side.
This is me wearing my reading glasses. I hardly wear them.
Me and my daughter in the car before the service.
We got to the service basically right before it started. Didn't really get to talk to anyone before hand, we pretty much just stood off to the side of everything. That was partly from having my daughter there, just to keep her from disturbing anyone while there. It was a rather large turn out, which wasn't too surprising as my cousin was in the military. The service did seem a little shorter than i thought it would be. Hardly any one went up to say anything about him. It was still a nice service.
My daughter got to run around for a little bit before we left. Though before we left, i took a few photos that i was able to get at the service.
My cousin's mom (left) and his sisters(right)
There was a get together after the service that we almost went to, but after my cousin's death, there's been so much family drama that we just didn't want to put ourselves in it. So instead we went to try and watch Planes....that didn't work out so well as my daughter only lasted about half an hour before getting bored. But at least we tried, expensive trying, but oh well lol.
My mom went over to see the family that night, i decided to just stay at the hotel. Which from the sounds of it, was a better idea because of drama that was going on. Then i guess my mom left at a good time because then even more drama happened.
We didn't exactly have plans for the sunday while there, so we ended up deciding to drive over to Crater Lake. I guess last time i was there i was just a kid, i don't even remember going....though like most of our family trips, i was old enough to enjoy, but too young to remember the stuff now, such as trip to disneyland, or the grand canyon. I remember bits but not enough. So well, we went. My mom thought about it to let me try and get some pictures taken since i enjoy photography. Now my daughter is defiantly too young to remember the trip when she's older, but i'll just take her again in the future. I think i'll just end this post with my pictures i took while at Crater Lake(not all the pictures, but some of the good ones/has a story). We drove around the whole 33 miles around the lake.
We stopped at the souvenir shop first and she saw a purple chocolate she just had to have lol. Just the wrapper was purple
I'm not surprised it was filled but i was surprised she still wanted it after finding out it was filled. I think it was huckleberry.
Just shoving the chocolate in
Mouth full of chocolate
She wanted to wear my glasses
My mom didn't think this was funny lol.
My daughter drinking her milk we got her when we got lunch.
the little island is called Phantom Ship.
