Umpqua River Lighthouse-1857



This is one of the lighthouses we toured at Winchester Bay.



This was taken at the museum at the Coast Guard Station.




Coast Guard Motto. The upstairs floor of the museum was dedicated to the Coast Guard.





These rescue boats were used more than 50 years before putting them out of commission. We heard tales that they held 50 people on one rescue. I don't know where they put them.




Coast Guard Sites



We visited as many Coast Guard stations that we could as a tribute to Travis.



You might be a rough neck.... when you name a boat, "ROUGHNECK."




Anchors away!




Brookings, Oregon. A couple of cutters.

One of the Coast Guards restoration projects. Looks pretty sharp.




The Oregon Coastline



This is part of the Oregon Coastline just off the side of the 101 highway. We didn't make very many miles this day because we kept stopping to look at the view. Breath-taking huh?



The Redwood Forrest, California



We were amazed at how big these giant trees are. Yes, that is our car that fits right through one.



Three hundred feet and still growing.



Jed stood next to this tree to give you an idea of just how massive these trees are.

Lake Tahoe, Nevada



We started out at beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Jed has been there before, but this was the first time I was able to see it.

Jed and I surprised all the kids during the 4th of July weekend by buying this 4-wheeler. Hudson loved getting rides with Grandpa.

Hoover Dam



A brief stop at Hoover Dam on our trip to AZ for Hollie & Joseph's wedding. You can see progress on the bridge behind us.
