My Oregon Trip

Great seat on the warf and good food. 
Walking on rocks near the Ocean
I was hoping to load a video I made of all the photos in Oregon.  But I think it is too big for such a blog.  I will have to figure out another way to share it.  Steve and I had a wonderful time visiting my cousin in Oregon, checking out the largest book store in America.  Powell Bookstore--3 stories and a full block with 2 coffee shops -one on each corner.  I definitely have to plan a full day when I go back.  But I quickly found the Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis.  Yeah.  And they had an interesting old book area.  We also took a drive down the coast of Oregon and visited a lighthouse.  Our first time visiting a lighthouse, again no time for a tour, but i did get to see a humpback whale.  There were lots of trees, and birds and of course fog and rain.  We had a wonderful day that ended beautifully with a room on Ocean front and dinner on the warf next to the window.  I can't wait to visit again November.

My visit to Oregon

 I had a wonderful time visiting with my cousin.  We had a relaxing first night of catching up then some girl time the next day and rest before my hubby joined us on Friday.  I look forward to visiting again in November.

3 of my kids skiing on the 4th of July 2011

Michael, Rio, and Brai went skiing at Squaw on
July 4th, 2011.  They skied for half a day,
 then they went for a swim in Lake Tahoe.  
They took a few pictures for me.  
I am not quite ready to ski in the melting snow.
