Well, I meant to post this on the 25th... Ooops.
Merry Christmas from Depoe Bay! 2023 was a fun-filled year of RV road trips and visitors. We spent a week in Nehalem, almost six weeks in Alberta & British Columbia (Waterton, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, etc.), and close to a month on Vancouver Island (a research trip for Rod’s latest book). Highlights include sightings of mountain goats, bighorn sheep, black bears, a lynx, humpback whales, and orcas. In addition to our travels, we hosted over 40 friends and relatives (not all at once!) who came to visit and help celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday (which was in May). It was great to see everyone!
We hope you are enjoying this holiday season and that 2024 brings you peace, love, and joy.
What a wonderful year of traveling you had! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen. We really did have a great year. Christmas was low-key, just the three of us, but still lovely.
DeleteYou had quite a year! Great collage you posted here, I love the photod.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina. It was a fun-filled year, that's for sure!
DeleteLovely! how exciting to spend good chunks of time exploring in beautiful places. and Reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Care. We sure have enjoyed our RV road trips, especially the Canadian trips.
DeleteI've loved reading about your travels and hope this next year is just as exciting for you. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iliana. We haven't figured out where we want to go in 2024, but the Tetons are high on my list for the fall. Probably Utah, too.
DeleteThat's a wonderful card. Love all the pics and places. What an experience & journey! You saw so much, and a lot of wildlife too. Wishing more adventures in 2024.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. I love using Ribbet to create these collages. And, yes. We really had a great year of travel, particularly in your neck of the woods. So glad we had a chance to meet up with you and Robert. Hoping we can get up to Alberta & BC again in the coming year(s). Cheers!
DeleteMerry Christmas, Les, and Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing where you will go and what you will read in 2024.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb! I need to sit down and start planning out some of our adventures for 2024. Our first big trip will probably be in April, which will be here before I know it!
DeleteYou had such a fabulous year of travel adventures! Love your photo collage. You both look great. Wishing you all the best of everything in 2024!
ReplyDeleteLaurel, it was the best year! We loved exploring Canada and hope to return in the coming years. I've started looking at places to stay later this fall. I'm focusing on the Tetons and Glacier. Not terribly interested in Yellowstone, but we would probably do a drive-by while en route to Glacier. We'll see.
