Traveling Adventures!

Two weeks ago my mom and I went to Oregon for a week to visit my Grandma. It was a nice trip seeing relatives and just enjoying time spent together. It was my first time on an airplane that I can remember, and I had so much fun!

A selfie on the plane.

We had fabulous service on the plane:)

My refreshing drink....you'll see more drinks throughout this post:)

The lovely view from my Grandma's house.

Another day, another drink....ice coffee!

My grandma's neighbors had horses and I visited them everyday and fed them carrots.

On the way to Crater lake.

The stunning Crater Lake.

It was gorgeous.

There was a little bit of icy snow on the ground. 

God's creation is marvelous!!! 

Another drink....on the car ride to Redding.

 

In Redding California we visited some of my great uncles and aunts.  

Another drink....Pete's coffee in the San Francisco airport during our layover!

We saw the Golden Gate Bridge as we landed in San Francisco.

And there you have it!  

It was a really enjoyable trip but I am ever so glad to be home!!!

Do you have any summer trips planned? 

Do you like flying, have you seen any big landmarks from an airplane?

Did you set any goals for the new year? 

What was a highlight of 2014?

A trip along the Coast.

Thursday my parents and I along with the Grimes family took a trip along the coast with a destination of San Luis Obispo.  At 8am we all piled into the Grime's car and took off on an adventure!  Restrooms in Santa Barbara was the first stop.  Then we stopped at Cuchuma lake, it wasn't very pretty at all and the water was super low.  We had our lunch on the pier in Pismo Beach next, and then walked along the pier watching people catching fish.  Continuing on, we stopped at a big fruit stand and looked around, enjoyed the animals, and bought a homemade pie.  We then drove by Michael Jackson's house, although all we could see was the gate entrance and guard shack.  Next stop: Avila Beach. It was hot and super crowded at Avila Beach, but we stopped anyway and sat on the beach for a little bit enjoying the water.  After that we went to Montana De Oro state park Beach, which was beautiful!!  Finally by 6:15pm we made it to San Luis Obispo for the Farmers Market.  We got in a really long line for some delicious food and then walked along the street.  Noel and I got a special treat of ice cream in the evening and by that time it was 9:30pm and we were headed home.  We arrived home at 1:30am after a full day.  It was such a fun day and we all had a fabulous time!!!

Lots of people were fishing off the pier
