Vacation 2009

July 29, 2009

My photo blog last year of our summer vacation was a pretty big hit, right?  Here’s what went down in what we dubbed our COW ‘09 Trip (California, Oregon, Washington.  Brilliant!) This was a much longer vacation than last year, so sit back and enjoy:

Flying from Fresno to LAX.  We sat in the very back of the airplane, cause I throw up everywhere!  I don't, really.

We spent the day in Portland on Saturday.  Surprisingly enough, we didn't take many pictures.  And we ended up at the wrong Rose Garden.

Rob, Allie's Uncle (and my new bff,) let me drive his 1929 Ford Model A around their neighborhood on Sunday morning.

Visited the town of Steilacoom that evening.  Very quaint, and apparently the first city founded in Washington.

Here are a few videos of us walking around Barb’s neighborhood on our final day.  My commentary is Grammy worthy.

Our final day in Washington consisted of a ferry ride from Bainbridge Island to Seattle.  I was very sad.
