On the way back into Oregon we stopped to check out these Darlingtonia californica plants. Also knows as the Cobra plant which is insect eating. We even saw a bee fly in and not come out!
They live in marsh type land and were everywhere in this area! Kind of creepy in a neat way.
Oregon Caves!
Yes, we took the long and winding road into the caves and like always it's worth the drive.
Young man, Mark gave us the tour and he thought he was quite funny, but so did Jo and Cole which helped Mark go on and on with his humor.
Cole and Jo then were sworn in as Junior Rangers!
Taking the Oath to Protect All Living Things.
Bet you didn't know that NAPA has a dinner menu?
Yes we ate out of our cooler again and the kids are getting a little tired of it. Should make good memories for them. Maybe not good but memories none the less.

Gotta Love Our Girl!
After Cole and Jo had a pillow fight in the car (yes as we were driving) she put the case on her head and wore it for quite some time like it was normal for her to wear a babushka. Oregon Vortex
Made the kids and I a little dizzy while in this area, or as the kids put it. “Made me feel drunk, though I don't know what that really feels like but it made me feel that way.” Oma said her chest sort of tighten up and we could hear her voice go up many octaves the longer we were in the area. Interesting.
Cole is actually standing on the only “flat” surface in the house and is standing straight. Jo is trying her hand at standing the broom on it's own, which she did accomplish.
Oma standing in the door trying to make the door look square.
She made it look easy to do and so I tried and and about fell over trying to get the angle correct, steep slope.
We decided to hang in Grants Pass for two nights as the kids are really tired of driving, there is a pool at the hotel, and by golly this hotel is actually clean and feels a little relaxing compared to where we have been staying.
A little Geocache walk about around town and we posed with the Caveman.
We call him Chuck.
We also looked for a cache in a blackberry patch, sampling them as we looked for the cache.
Oma found the good berries up high and the kids noticed!
And then as much pool time as possible!
Slow drive home the next day or so.
Good vacation!
