Our travels

You can see our first trip where we could sleep in the same room LEGALLY! on the honeymoon page...this starts with our 3-month anniversary trip to visit my sister Ginni and her beau David in Cathlamet, Washington on July 4th weekend.

We don't get around as much as each of us did back before we were married, but we had far more fun now...  I firmly believe life was made to be shared - with family, with friends...with you all!!

To the right, David explains to Sandi that this is not an effective way to kayak and that water is a far better medium for boats, as Ginni demonstrated below.

"Jumping" over logs was a favorite pasttime for Ginni - the rest of us seemed to spend more time stuck on them...

Above is proof that Sandi finally did make it out on the water.  I have no proof that he actually paddled, though (see his dry paddle above).  He spent a great deal of time taking many of the pictures shown on this page.

I'm not as good as Ginni, but after much pushing off the log and rocking my weight back and forth, I can finally get the boat over the log...

After get- ting out of the weeds, we floated down Bernie Slough across the street from the farm below, complete with barn and 'Bago...

Ginni put us to work moving tons of

gravel (literally!), then expected us to be able to juggle - it took us both!

David juggles a knife - while we clear the area...

Ginni runs a kayak business - giving lessons and taking unsuspecting folks for the float of their lives off Mexico's Baja Peninsula.  For more info, visit her website: www.columbiariverkayaking.com
