This is a summary LO re: our 2008 trip to Oregon (where we hiked the notoriously steep Starvation Creek trail seen earlier here - http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=41507&m=view&id=2482637&type=-1&page=1&a=158921) . I adapted Sketches by Suzy sketch #9 (doing the right page sketch for both sides). I did this 2-pager at a summer scrap retreat, hence I had a lot of time to lavish on this...that hasn't been happening much at home lately, LOL! I'm really digging doing summary LOs re: vacations these days - it's challenging to choose only several pics to use but it's fulfilling too.

Journaling: "Oregon 6/2008 – Greg's & my trip started on a sad note – my Uncle Jhun died & I went to Houston for the funeral. BUT it was a lovely gathering of loved ones, I spoke at the service & I also helped Daddy write his speech. An incredible time w/ family despite the somber reason – there were smiles amidst the sorrow. Parents took me to Aloha Grill Hawaiian restaurant – LOVED it! After TX, I met Greg & some of the family (Charlie, Shelly, Barbara) in Portland, OR for Patty's med school graduation! So proud of Dr. ___ - finishing med school & giving birth to Esti during the same few years - greatly admirable! Very nice to see Greg's side of the family & adorable Esti. Marvelous Middle Eastern eats at Nicholas'! Then, Greg & I went off on a separate getaway to Hood River (2nd yr in a row). Comfy & enjoyable rental property Base Camp. Shirley came too – FUN!! Hood River's the “windsurfing capital of the world” but we had a hard time finding any! Then when Jeff, Patty, Esti & Reggie met us, we hiked the unforgettably steep (but still enjoyable) Starvation Creak. Ahh…travels made even more special w/ the presence of beloved family! "

TFL! :)
