Southern Oregon Coast Trip

August 31st-September 2nd we went to check out the southern coast of Oregon. We stayed in a yurt and did lots of fun things. A few of the things that we did were rock hounding, went to the West Coast Safari Park, saw some cranberry bogs, played on some beaches, saw some lighthouses, played zilch.

King Jullian the Lemur was our favorite, we left the park wanting one. He was the cutest little thing. He would hold your finger and lick you. His hands felt like a leather glove.

More goats and deer.

Seattle






This past Wednesday and Thursday (July 14-15) Michael was going to Seattle to visit a customer and attend a class, so I tagged along. We tried to get in as much sight seeing as we could in the few hours we had. We went on a Ferry to Bainbridge Island, Went on the Underground tour of Seattle, and of course the Space Needle. We had a lot of fun, it was great to get away just the two of us. I may have to tag along more often.
