These pictures are backwards. Today is Thursday. Tonight is the white coat ceremony, tomorrow is hiking, Saturday is a graduation party, and Sunday is one of my top five life moments...graduation. It's 5:30am right now and I can't sleep. So I thought i'd finish this up before heading into Loma Linda for a crash course on the up coming festivities. Below is probably the worst photo of the Golden Gate Bridge i've ever seen. We didn't have time to cross it (plus there's a fee) and the fog was bad but now we can say we saw it.
We stopped by Redwoods National Park in Northern California for the morning. The trees are huge!
The strange nodule on the tree above is a seedling for a future tree.
This is where President Nixon dedicated the park. It's about a mile in on the hike we did.
The Northern California coast- beautiful but unswimable due to the dangerous tide.
Before California came Oregon and Portland was where we stayed our first night.
We met up with Paul and Kasey. Kasey was a roommate of Kate's while in Spokane. They let us crash at their place but before we enjoyed good conversation at Cascade Brew house where we tried different types of Sour Beers. I can see where they are going with the sour beer thing but not my favorite.
Portland is by far the weirdest city I have ever been to. Hippies, people running down the street trying to fly a miniature kite on a 4 inch string, theater plays in the middle of the street and so much more can be seen here.
Before we left Washington we had a thank you party for Lynden Family Physical Therapy.
Over 50 people came and almost half were kids.
I'm grateful for family. It was a part that was supposed to be hosted by me but my hours at work made it difficult to get done what needed to be done. Kate's mom and dad, uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins all pitched in throughout the week to make it happen.
Steve and Robin, the clinic owners are generous folks. These were the prizes for winning the balloon toss.
