My vacation journal

I guess I should add to my vacation by at least writing down how it went.  I got to Leavenworth by way of train on Monday.  This was way better than taking the bus like I did in December. :)  We did some kayaking the next day on the Icicle, it was a beautiful trip but a little cold as we went really early in the morning. We saw a little bit of wildlife on the river: ducks, eagle's nest, beaver damage, bear tracks (although, I was hoping to actually see a real one). We took Sawyer to the river to play and swim - there were a lot of people there but it was a good swimming hole with nice sand for laying out.  As you can see from the picture we also did some mini golfing.  On Wednesday we went to a play called Crazy For You, my sister's favorite.  It had a lot of songs I knew from high school choir and watching musicals.  Thursday, we left for Amy's and took our time getting there, stopping along the way for lunch.  Of course, we got to hang out with The Meyers and see and hold little Addie, see how the other kids have grown and see my aunt Donna and uncle Cleve!  Then we drove to Vancouver to visit my house for a bit.  We stopped at beautiful Multnomah Falls on the way back.  You look at those falls and it's like a "wow" moment.  One is just in awe at how powerful and beautiful it is.  We arrive at my house and Sawyer is immediately drawn to the basement and backyard and asked a million and one questions about the house (apparently he doesn't see basements in California).  That kid loved Jesse and asked "Where's Jesse?" all the time and were the first words out of his mouth when he woke up.  We went to our local farmer's market which was the first time going for me since living in Vancouver and we got some fresh vegetables and fruit.  The time ended too fast and sis had to fly back to Cali.  Mom and dad dropped her off at the airport on their way home.
