Summer Vacation

Dave and I went on one of our shortest summer vacations to date. Dave took off Friday and Monday from work and we loaded up the car for a car-camping trip.

We drove along the North Umpqua River and had lunch at natural Diamond Lake. Mount Theilson is the jagged peak. Through the binoculars, you could spy a very narly looking trail to the peak!

Then it was to a campground on the Rogue River for Hobo dinners and wine. Memories of a summer solstice camping trip in Alaska brought smiles to our faces!

Then we got bored so our car camping trip turned into a road trip. We followed the Rogue River out to the coast and then headed north. At Newport, Rogue Brewing was having their annual longboarding contest out at South Beach. So we decided to check it out. Hanging out on the jetty we felt like we were enjoying a summer day in Homer, windy, cool and us with jackets and beanie on! We cut the vacation short a day and made it home on Sunday in time for the football game. Monday we hung out in Portland and just enjoyed having the day off. All in all, a much too short but relaxing as always summer vacation for becky and dave. :)
