Oregon trip – day 6 – hanging out around the hotel
The multiple days of hiking took its toll on my rib, reinjuring it and basically putting me out of action. As a result, we spent the last Saturday in Oregon just relaxing around the hotel. Toren’s first introduction to swimming was a few weeks before this at a swimming pool in our friends’ condominium complex.…

Oregon trip – day 5 – Mount Pisgah
I had originally planned to make another trip out to the Willamette National Forest for some more hikes this day, but upon the advice of some of the people at the dinner party, I opted, instead, for a closer hike – Mount Pisgah. It’s a nearby mountain that offers splendid views of the surrounding area.…

Oregon trip – day 4 – Sahalie and Koosah Falls in Willamette National Forest
One of the other hikes I found online before I came out here was a hike in the Willamette National Forest that is a loop trail for the Sahalie and Koosah Falls. I found a few other promising hikes for the Willamete National Forest, but time constraints meant I had to pick one that seemed…

Oregon trip – day 3 – World Cup and french fries
After my adventure the day before, I decided to relax this day and recover (I was feeling the previous day’s hike in my legs pretty good). So, Toren and I pretty much just hung out at the hotel. This did give me a chance to watch the Germany/Spain game, which was a major upset for…

Oregon trip – day 2 – Heceta Head Lighthouse and Hobbit Beach
I was super excited to get out and do some hiking, since I don’t get to do much in Tampa and the little hiking I get to do does not include hills – seriously, not even like large piles of dirt. It must be the fact that I grew up on the side of a…

Oregon trip – day 1 – Tampa to Portland to Eugene
Debi’s work needed to send her to Oregon for a project. Since Toren has not self-weaned, Debi didn’t want to leave him for a week away he likely would during that time and we’re not in a hurry to have that happen. However, while in Oregon she needed to be available all day for the…

Magic Kingdom in the rain
I mentioned a while back that we went to Disney World. I didn’t take any pictures at the Magic Kingdom, but my brother-in-law’s wife did: Photos are courtesy of Scott and Shalynn. Thanks!

PEACE Alternative Break – days 3 and 4
The remainder of our time in Fort Lauderdale passed relatively peacefully. We worked at Horses and the Handicapped and were even treated to dinner on the third night by the former student’s parents (which gave me a chance to talk to non-students for the first time in a while; very nice!!!). I think what we…
