Since we both didn't have to work on Martin Luther King day and since Dustin had no school we decided to go down to Portland to visit Dustin's aunt and uncle for the weekend. We were nervous since this was going to be Sydney's first long road trip. We left Sunday morning and Sydney slept most of the way there she was so good. We got there in the afternoon and went and did some shopping than headed to the town were Dustin lived by Salem called Independence it was fun to see his old house and the middle school he went to. After that we heard to his aunts and uncles place were we had dinner and played games that night.
On Monday we went to visited Mission Mill museum in Salem. was a old Methodist settlement back when Oregon was still a territory. Later it become a wool mill that shut down in the early 60's.
The old sign for the mill
We took a tour around the mill it was very cool to see all the old machine's and how long it took to make the wool. After the mill we looked around the old buildings that the Methodist settlers lived in one of which is the oldest home in the Northwest. After that it was time to head home it was a very short trip but it was fun to get out of town and Sydney was so good. Next trip California in march but that time we are flying.
