Today was the little lady's official
birthday, and she told pretty much everyone we came across :)
We started the day in Vancouver and
headed south after a great birthday breakfast.
We stopped at Qdoba in Eugene for
lunch. I don't think I realized how much of a college town Eugene is.
And if I had, I would have still assumed that it was mid-July and probably
not full of college kids. But something was going on in town – lots
of kids and parents. But lunch was yummy, and we got back on the road.

Our fun for the day was still to come
in Winston, OR, at Wildlife Safari.
We arrived just after 3 pm. Which
unfortunately is when the Elephant Car Wash closed up for the day, so
we missed that joy... sounds like a riot, right? Let the kindly
elephants wash your car...... they say “guarenteed to not get your
car clean”. Maybe next time.
The 600 acre park is mostly a free
roaming park that you drive thru.
Speed limit is 10 mph and the full tour
took us just over an hour. Then we explored the small walk-through
area, rode the train and the birthday girl took a spin on a camel.

The day ended in Medford. We had dinner
and hit the Harry & David outlet, before settling into the hotel.
With a quick swim before bed I was ready for some sleep and quiet.
California here we come tomorrow.
