Traditionally, Mark and I go to Tombstone for his birthday on March 14th, but I wasn’t here then, so we went today. In the meantime, today was Lauryn’s first day with Dad. She had asked him where he’d like to go for a drive and he wanted to go to the Aviation and Space Center in McMinville, Oregon. They have the Spruce Goose there, the plane that Howard Hughes built. I’ll share pictures from both trips.

Back to Lauryn and Dad, one of the places Dad had also wanted to go was Lincoln City at the coast. When he decided to stay at the museum most of the day and they left at 4:00, he said he’d still like to go to Lincoln City. Lauryn told him that it would be dark on the way back if they went to the coast so late in the day. Dad suggested that maybe they could spend the night. Lauryn asked him if he was trying to escape and he said, “In a way.” She reminded Dad that they hadn’t come prepared to spend the night away from home. She felt so bad for him. He really enjoyed his day out and wanted it to keep going.
