By February, we're always ready to escape the NW winter sogginess and find some sunshine. This year (2012) we couldn't swing anything exotic, so we loaded up our little trailer, our flying gear and our snowplay toys and headed to southern California via Yosemite on the way down, and via the Bay Area to visit family on the way home. Our quest for sunshine, airtime and family time was totally successful!
George and I retired from middle-school teaching so we could travel at times other than school vacations. We're loving it! Mostly our destinations are paragliding sites around the country and the world, but occasionally we do take off just for the sheer pleasure of going someplace new. I'm trying to put our adventures online in digital scrapbook form (retirement goal #2: Learn to use Photoshop). Recently I volunteered to be our family archivist, and am sorting through a bazillion jumbled, undated family photos, trying to create a coherent story of Mom's life while she's still around to enjoy and comment on the scrapbook pages as I finish them.
Great memories through scrapping! Great scrapping of memories!
