Summer Travels

We went to a Japanese garden in Portland.
We drove from Portland, down the coast to San Franciso. We had to eat some of that fabulous crab on the warf.


We drove through the Redwood Forest. The subbie had a great time driving thru the huge redwood.


Wow, what a tree.



We went throught the Oregon Caves, on our way down the coast. The hike through the caves was about a mile. We saw many cool rock formations.

We went on a cruise to Alaska. We got a great deal and couldn't resist. He had an amazing time. The weather was beautiful, warm and clear. WOW, what magnificent scenery we saw. You all have got to go to Alaska some time!!! This picture is in Skagway.
We took a train to the top of White Pass, which is the edge of the Yukon Territory.

This, of course, is my cute little hubby. The ship is leaving Whittier, where he started the cruise.

Our Summer Travels


We drove to portland Oregan to visit with Tom sisters, Patsy and Carol. We also had a great time visiting with Catherine and Brett. Micheal and Bea were also visiting from St. Louis along with cute little daughter, Sofia. Tom's mother was also in Oregan visiting. It was a great reunion. These picutes were taken at a park in Portland. Everything is so green and lush there, quite a change from our desert home.
