hi Victoria... no staycation here, i'm certainly not going to decorate the house like hawaii and call it good.  we'll be traveling from sw washington (the state) to Lake Tahoe (where calif makes that big angle mid state)... about a full 11 hour drive (if you don't stop once and well, throw in 2 kids and a coffee drinkin' mama and you're talkin' at least 14 hours).

i wanted to share my survival tips from my lifestyle segment here in portland, or.  http://tinyurl.com/5nvak9  i'll be doing a series of posts as well to get down to the nitty gritty.

bon voyage!
