The last week of June we packed up the trailer and headed to San Francisco. Our first stop was a ghost town just across the California border. A mining town called
Bodie (Bow-
dee) not (Bow-die). Brandon and Jack where giving me a hard time about how I was saying it, all along I was right and they were wrong. I love it when I'm right!
Brandon and the boys in front of the mine.
Me and the boys on the main road. At one point 10,000 people lived here. They said at least one person a day died here, mostly from violence. Looking around I decided it was because there was a bar in every public building, even the post office. Pretty cool place, we were disappointed we didn't see any ghosts though.
Jack and
Aydan where they belong most days! We visited Alcatraz. You can tell I was chasing Ike while we where here because we don't have very many pictures. The boys were excited to go here cause they watched Ghost Adventures on the Disney Channel, and found out that Alcatraz was the most haunted place in America. They were also disappointed to find no ghosts here either.
Brandon took Jack and
Aydan to an Oakland A's game. They lost in the last inning when the Red's hit 4 home runs in a row. They still had a good time.
After San Fran we drove up the coast to see my sister (Kristen and Bill). We meet them at the redwood forest, a little place called the Trees of Mysteries.
This picture is as good as you can get with 4 boys. I've learned to accept it.
After spending a day at their house relaxing and doing laundry we got up EARLY and headed up the Rouge river on jet boats. It was tons of fun and so beautiful. I had to put it out of my head that we were probably inches away from river monsters. They said a guy had just caught a 9 FOOT
Sturgeon. It creeps me out.
Ike and Gavin became VERY close cousins. Within a day they had been comfortable enough to strip naked and play on the jump house. It was funny the first time and maybe the second. I don't think the babysitters thought it was funny though. Yes I said babysitters, Kristen knew I'd need a break and got some girls to come watch ALL the kids so we could go to dinner. THANK YOU KRISTEN!
Bill taking
Ayd for a ride on a river by their house.
After our 3 day stay at Kristen and Bills we drove north to
McMinville Oregon to see the Spruce Goose. A huge airplane the government and Howard
Hugh's built. It got off the ground only once and then has spent the rest of it's
existence indoors.

in front of the beast.
Holy Cow! There's
alot of us! We had a great time. The boys where excellent travelers. I've decided I could be one of those crazy people who sell their house and travel around in their RV. Who would have guessed?
