2011 trip to Meridian, ID and Vancouver, WA

What a great trip!! It snowed on us going over Donner summit and massive winds caused dust storms as we crossed western Nevada. Some times you could on see a few feet in front of you. That was the beginning. We had a great time visiting Kyle, Kristen and their family in Meridian, ID. We then drove along the Columbia river to get to Vancouver, WA to visit with Carrie, Garen and their family. Saw Elaine in her Fort Vancouver Dame outfit and watched Mitchell perform in Robin Hood. Rapped it up by driving down the Oregon coastline and through the Avenue of the Giants then through the grape vineyards of the wine country. What a beautiful drive. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the camera with us. Too bad you can't twitch your nose and skip the stretch from five miles north of Santa Rosa til you get past San Francisco.
