Caloregon

We just got back a few days ago from a trip to California/Oregon. We were right on the border, our hotel was in California but we spent most of our time at beaches in Oregon. The Redwood forest is amazing but it turns out the rest of the northernmost part of California is not so much. Well to be honest, we really didn't see that much of it so my apologies to Northern Californians. We just weren't that taken with Crescent City California and its foggy coldness. Though the wild, human loving grey squirrels were quite the attraction. Especially when one cuddled up to Noah. Noah leaned down to the ground, being distracted by the other eight squirrels surrounding us and accidentally gave the guy a good petting. Which made me screech of course, rabies you know. We love Oregon though (the whole Northwest, really). We'd move there given the chance. Maybe someday. Here is a slew of pictures for you picture lovin' types out there:

Happy Independence Day!

We went to the parade again, sans Brent. He had to work. He was probably better off though. It was HOT. Fireworks in the evening too and a nice 4th dinner.
