Oregon Coast Getaway
On our way to the coast for a quick weekend getaway for Lyle’s birthday. This is our second year in a row to do this. Does that make it a tradition?

Silverwood

On the ground in Denver…
Turns out it wasn't a non-stop flight after all, but I don't change planes. And at least I can stretch my legs for a few minutes.

Along the Way
I used both my camera and my phone for taking pictures on our trip. As I was transferring the files from my camera to my computer this morning, it occurred to me that most of the pictures that I shared along the way were from my phone. And I had so many more interesting ones on my camera! Rocky Mountains…
