Southern Oregon Vacation

We took our family vacation to Southern Oregon this year. Lyndie and Nate came along as did Jandie's boyfriend Colin.  Cole wasn't able to come and we missed having him there.

 Lyndie and Nate at the beach.
 All of us at the Trees of Mystery sitting on Paul Bunyan's boot.

 At the top of the Sky Trail above the Redwoods
 These trees are huge and so cool!
 Colin and Jandie on the Sky Trail - Jandie was a little freaked out....
 It would take probably 10 people to go around the trunk of these trees.
 The roots of a fallen tree



 I took this picture in the yard of the house we stayed at. I loved how it turned out.
 We walked around the harbor in Brookings. Lyndie & Nate bought them some jawbreakers at the candy shop - can you tell??

 When our time on the coast was almost over we discovered the fog wasn't so bad further up the coast.
 The last night we were on the coast we got ice cream and watched the sunset.
 Nate always wanted to get a picture of him holding the sun. In real life the sun was a gorgeous orange color, but it didn't photograph that way.

 All of us in front of the guest house we stayed at.
 At the Avenue of the Boulders on the Rogue River
 Crater Lake
 Dennis had the hiccups and every time I went to take a picture he'd hiccup and everyone would laugh.
Not a good group shot but everyone was tired of me taking their picture....
We had a good vacation and saw some beautiful scenery. I can see why this area isn't
traveled by many, it's a long ways away and there is not much around but forests.
