Why do I have a Travelodge banner on my blog, you may ask. No, I am not advertising for them. This is where we stayed on Christmas eve night in La Grande, OR. Crazy, right? Well, let me tell you the story. We were traveling to Idaho on Christmas eve. When I checked the Weather Channel's website, there was supposed to be no snow east of the Tri Cities. Well, they were wrong. There were actually three storms that night and they closed the freeway at La Grande. We were going to just turn around and go home, but there was a storm behind us. So, we were lucky enough to get a hotel. Noah whined understandably, "But, Santa won't know where we are!" "No, Noah, Santa always knows where you are," I replied. Luckily Santa found us, although no Christmas tree in the background. I don't think the boys cared. They just wanted the presents anyway. The freeway was pure ice and snow the whole way to Burley and the freeway was closed to Utah, so we couldn't get to Utah, but had a nice time visiting Rob's family that weekend. Sorry, Utah family and friends! We love you!

Could've been worse, like a truck stop or even the VAN!
I'm just happy you were all safe.
So funny and sad! The snow sure messed up a lot of people Christmas plans! Good thing Santa is always watching! A boy, Congrats! I will bring you some chocolate! :) Happy NEw YeAr!
I'm glad you made it safely. We went to Idaho as well, but were lucky to leave Monday when the weather had a break. We were snowed in at my sisters for Christmas. Thank goodness Santa is so smart and can find us wanderers.
It's so great that Santa's all knowing (especially since the Weather Channel isn't). :) Hey, do I call you to schedule Davis for a hearing aid fitting or the front desk people?
Checking out the blog! I'm glad I'm getting to know you better! You are terrific!
