We had a fabulous time with friends who are funny and oh so accommodating. They live near San Francisco-- a couple our age with two teens around Emily's age.
They were gracious enough to invite us on a jaunt up to Oregon. We hiked lots, kayaked in a sea slough, played Scrabble on the beach, and laughed a lot.
Emily once stated she really wanted to see Redwood trees.
Here we are, hugging one:

But the most fun site we saw was this one, at Umpqua Hot Springs in Oregon:

And the reason was this: Here are (husband) Howard and friend, Steve, in one of the hot springs, and oops, who is that sprite flitting offscreen on the right?

The kids were so embarrassed they headed right downhill to the river below!

There were about FIVE of those young European lads! I felt like their mother. ;-)
Nice bun shot Gail. lol Glad you enjoyed your trip away from the heat that we have been having here lately. Another scorcher today.
