Traveling the Northwest with my Girls

If you've wondered where I've been lately, I've been in a van driving across country with my two girls, my parents, and my sister. Here are a few highlights from our trip.

Leaving for the trip from my parents' home in Missouri.

Beautiful Yosemite Valley in California.

I was the wedding photographer at my niece's wedding in Oregon.

At Bonneville Dam in Oregon. We even took a tour of the powerhouse. (We are, after all, homeschoolers.)

Multnomah Falls in Oregon. Gorgeous every time I visit.

Joely after her Aunt Yvonne gussied her up with some makeup.

    Great road trip photos, great fun!

    Road trips can be spectacular for education so we have been on one around the world non-stop since 2006. 😉 We can't seem to stop, thus I'm writing this from Provence in France.

    We use to love going to Yosemite every winter, so loved that photo. Perhaps we will get there again when we visit family in California on our way to Asia this fall. Your daughter looks beautiful in the last shot….look out in a few years! 😉
