Its that time again. Time for a vacation. Every three or four months, I need some time off from the stresses of my job working in pediatric health care. I love my job but it can be heartbreaking.

This one is a big trip that has been in the planning for a long time. My oldest brother lives in Oregon. We fly out on Tuesday the 14th and meet him in Portland. Then we are headed to the coast (Depoe Bay) for a week in this beautiful house with its amazing gardens.

 

After that we’re making a stop at the Redwood National Park before heading to Tahoe City California for a week at the home below. We are also planning a visit to Yosemite National Park.

 

Before heading home we’ll spend one day/night in Reno Nevada at the Atlantis Casino. We fly home on the 30th.

It will be great to see my brother and spend some time relaxing with my family. I’m sure there will be tons of pictures to share when I get back home. I guess I really do need to start thinking about packing since I leave in 4 days. Ack!
