Whenever
we have the opportunity, Bill and I really enjoy traveling. We look forward
to every kind of trip, from 2-3 day weekend getaways to longer vacations.
So far our travels have been limited to the United States and Canada. Since
we live on the west coast, you are correct to assume that we have visited
(many times) San Francisco, Napa
Valley, San Diego, Carmel
and
Monterey,
Yosemite
National Park, Sequoia
and Kings Canyon National Parks (the Redwood forests)...plus just about
every other well-known or not so well-known California destination.
Another place we have visited is Hawaii.
(Our eldest daughter, Mindy,
was living there at the time). Other vacation sites were Seattle,Vancouver
Island BC, Nashville,
Washington
DC,
Williamsburg, Virginia,
New
York, and New England.
Our very
favorites of all these vacations are the ones we spent in New
England in the fall! In fact, we enjoyed the breathtaking colors of
the fall
foliage so much during our first visit in 1995, that we spent our vacation
time there again in 1997! That time we visited Maine's
coast and Acadia National park.
In Camden, Maine, we stayed at the lovely Hawthorn
Inn - a charming Bed and Breakfast. We also took the beautiful drive
on the Kancamagus highway (across from Lincoln to Conway in New
Hampshire in the White
Mountains) to view the gorgeous "peaking" fall foliage! More
recently we visited beautiful, unspoiled *Oregon.
Here
are some pictures we took on that trip. And in the fall of 2002 we
visited *Pennslyvania
for the Autumn colors. Because Bill is an avid photographer,
we have many beautiful pictures to remind us of our vacations.
On Oct. 3rd,
2000, we returned from a week in Vermont. We were disappointed that we
were about a week or so too early for the autumn foliage. Nature opted
to not cooperate with our schedule this year! However, Vermont at any time
of the year is lovely... fresh and unspoiled. We spent our time finding
and photographing the picturesque covered bridges for which Vermont is
well-known. Click on the covered bridge icon below to see some of those
photos.
