this past week has been absolutely amazing. my mom and i went on a rafting trip in southern oregon on the wild and senic rogue river! it was beautiful... we left for oregon on saturday the 30th and on the way to merlin, we stopped at the saturday market in portland. i loooove the saturday market, it was only my 2nd time going but i love how eclectic the crowd is...you have gypsies, liberals, the young, the old and multiple cultures! the variety of vendors was awesome too...its a huge market..you could spend the whole day there. my mom and i had lunch, walked around and left around 1:00pm.
well i could definitely go on forever about rafting..i'll just talk about my favorite parts...
the first day i enjoyed camping and the fact that everything was set up so that we didn't have to lift a finger, i also loved how we camped out on the river bank...that was something i've always wanted to do. just being that close to nature was just breathtaking. on monday, the weather was beautiful! my favorite parts were kayaking thru the rapids, floating the river with mom and arriving at the lodge! ohhhh, that shower was soooo rejuvinating! the interior of our room was so warm and inviting...i could have stayed there another couple days. the last day of the trip was the shortest..i kayaked the last part of it and i enjoyed the scenery so much..
all in all, i had fun with everyone and really valued their company along the trip. the time spent with my mom was something i wouldn't trade anything for!! i couldn't have asked for a better time.
oh and did i mention that i turned 21 last friday?! oh yeaaaah! the whole family and i went and had dinner at famous dave's...the bbq was to die for..and my cousin amber bought me my first drink! i think it was called a sweet mama :) then on saturday my mom and i went to a wedding where i took advantage of the buffet and open bar!!
this whole week has been amazing and i would do it all over again if i had the chance :)
