Work Trip

I had the opportunity to go with Greg on one of his trips recently!  In order for that to happen we needed seats on the airplane and a place for our kids to go.  Thank you Grandma Ferol and Grandpa Don for watching our kids so I could go with Greg!  Praise the Lord I had a seat on each leg for 4 days!  Pretty amazing!

Where did we go on our no kids 4-day long work trip!?!

PDX SAN LIH SJC PDX  (8/31 to 9/3/15)

We started in PDX, Portland, and had supper at Bdubs (aka Buffalo Wild Wings).  This was a college favorite spot for us.

We had breakfast together, then he went to work and I went to visit friends in the Portland area!  Love that I know people in a lot of different cities 🙂

Greg taxing into SEATAC!

I met Greg in SEA, Seattle.  Then we headed to SAN, San Diego, for the night.  Greg took me took me to his favorite overnight meal spot The Kebab Shop.  It was really yummy!

My personal pilot

From SAN we headed to LIH, Lihue Hawaii.  I was really excited to explore another Hawaiian island.  Even more excited because Greg has done little exploring there.  It does not happen too often that we can explore together!

Sitting in First Officer Ireland’s seat! I had many opportunities to see Greg’s ‘office’. Captain Woody was very gracious and welcoming the whole trip.

Waimea Canyon: words cannot describe this amazing place
Quick beach walk and then off to SJC. I could have spent more time there 🙂

It was hard to leave LIH, but our next stop was SJC, San Jose, CA.  It was a beautiful sunset across the ocean.

We had a quick visit with the Vawter’s.  Love taking these opportunities to see them!  We had a great breakfast with them.  Sorry no pic 🙁

Day 4 was finally here, now to head back to PDX.  I miss my kiddos 🙂

Love his office!
