Family Vay-Cay!

I have been meaning to write about our family vacation... everyday... since we have been back. For some reason I just haven't felt like doing it. It is probably just because I feel like I am too busy.

I started school again this last week. Oh goodie.

Anyways, we took a fun, family road trip to Portland Oregon. It was an 11 hour drive. Very long. On the way there we cut it into two days. We stopped in Nampa, Idaho (it is by Boise) the first night and visited with my Grandparents. We played arcade games and I even tried my hand at a batting cage. Actually, I should really say that I HURT my hand. Those softballs are really heavy!

On the way to Nampa we stopped in Twin Falls and saw the new temple there. We also saw the Shoshone Falls. It is a really big waterfall and is actually taller than Niagara Falls!

The next day we drove the rest of the way. For the last couple of hours you get to drive along the Columbia River. It is HUGE and so beautiful.... and as you get closer there are waterfalls on the side of the mountain... EVERYWHERE!


Here are a few pictures:



Well, my textbooks are calling me and so I hope to write more about our awesome vacation tomorrow!
