Summer Vacation 2007Wow, I didn't realize it has been such a long time since I have written a blog. So lets us get started...
We had a weird summer this year I found, with July beening very warm, and August being really cold and rainy. But all in all we had a pretty fantastic summer. At the end of July we took our annual family vacation, this one being the farthest we have ever travel together. We started south were we spent our first part of our vacation in Glacier National Park, Montana were we travel the Road to the Sun. It was probably the most beautiful mountain drive you could possibly take....EVER! We camped there for 3 nights and hiked and enjoyed the sencery and wild life. There were Black bears, Grizzly Bears, Courgars, deer, moose, big horn sheeps, and etc... From there we travelled many, many, many more kilometeres which brought us to Spokane, Washington where we stayed an night, and took advantage of the American stores...I was estatic to be able to finally go to Victoria Secret. From there we travelled to Oregon where we stayed at South Beach and played in the ocean, shopped, biked, hiked. I have to say it was a nice place to be. We were very lucky to witness baby turtles hatching and riding the tide out to the ocean...there were so many it was absolutely amazing. We also saw probably I would have to say the biggest jelly fish I have ever seen, it had to of been the size of my foot. I would have to say it was probably Brody's favourite place to be on the whole trip...he is such a water boy. Ashton was enjoying the water much more this year, though he had more fun letting the tide chance him in.
After we stayed our nights there we headed to the Redwood's in California...you know Paul Bunyan and Babe. These are where the largest trees in the world reside. Some of these trees were well over 3,000 years old. And 350 ft tall, and 60 feet in diameter wide. This was my favourite place to be. There were these banana slugs that acually looked like banana's and when they get older they started to look like old banana...you know with the brown spots. When they were nervous or felt threatened they left this slim behind. Some of them were really small and some where huge...you will have to see the pictures ;-). Then we head back home stopping at various places on the way back. The time we pulled back in our drive way we accumulated over 5000km. And the kids behaved fantastic :-) |
