California and the Redwoods


Ned and I just got back from a six night vacation. We went to Florence for 2 nights, then on down to Crescent City for the Redwoods for 3 nights, then back to Lincoln City for our last night. We had a really great time. Joked a little that parts of our trip were a little "National Lampoons"...but we did have fun. Ned indulged me with lots of casino time...we got players cards for every casino along the way down to California...that would be six :) lol. I know you don't need to know the details...but 1. Spirit Mtn, Grande Ronde, OR 2. Chinook Winds, Lincoln City, OR 3. Three Rivers, Florence, OR 4. The Mill, Coos Bay, OR 5. Lucky 7, Smith River, CA 6. The Elk Valley, Crescent City, CA. I pretty much broke even the whole trip, until the way home. We stopped at #'s 5, 4, 2, & 1 on the way home....any $20 bill I put in...returned a minimum of $55....and a max of $107....so it was fun...Ned even played on the drive home...and we both did well...he won $125.




Well...it wasn't all about casino's...hahaha...we went to see the huge trees.lol...the Redwoods. They were amazing. No better person to share it with then my guy Ned. He's the best photographer ever...and he made some great captures. He even tumbled down a ravine with his camera...good thing there was no long term damage to either one of them. We'll go back again some day with the kiddos...good thing for everyone to see.

On the weight loss wagon again tomorrow. I have a new schedule at work with 4 day weekends every other weekend. Need to get to exercising again.ugh...so don't want to ...but want to at the same time. School is starting for the kiddos in a couple weeks...so here's to routine. Cheers.
