Our next stop was in Corvallis, OR to visit Roger’s Aunt Viola.   My favorite part was that Viola would give me real cookies and Roger couldn’t stop her from doing it!!! Mostly I took long naps as Viola and Roger talked and told stories.   We got to meet and visit with Viola’s brother and two sisters who lived in Corvallis too.   We stayed one extra day as the battery in the van died and he had to get it replaced.  (Roger said it was old and he was probably negligent in just not replacing it before we left home).  I really liked the cookies!!!   Roger said we might be back next year to visit so I am pretty happy about that.

We left Friday morning after breakfast and headed north towards the Columbia River.
