So we just dinked around pretty much all day with me giving Mom some computer lessons.....now she can shop online...Woo Hoo!
We had dinner plans at Uncle Chuck and Aunt Marilyn's house. Marilyn makes the best fish! And of course bonus we got to watch part of the Seattle Mariner's baseball game(Chuck is a big fan). We had to leave to go out to Todd's shop where he manages an ATV rental place so we could go for a ride out on the sand dunes.........I haven't done this stuff in years, I forgot how much I love it..........
Here is the view from on top of one of the dunes..........This is the McCullough Bridge in North Bend, built in 1936. It's the longest structure on any Oregon Highway.
The red ones are Razers which can ride 2 people and the white one is a single which Mom and I rode.
Here is my brother Todd coming up a big hill.
Here are Verissa (my sister-in-law) and my Mom (with the yellow helmet).
Here I am coming down a hugh hill.....the scary part is that when you come to the top you cannot see over the top you just have to go over blind and hope for the best. Plus its sooooo steep!
Phew! I made it! It can be so scary, but its really too much fun.
Here Mom and Dad are getting ready to go down this hill and up the other side. The problem is that if you don't go fast enough you will get stuck halfway up the other side...It happened to Mom once but only once and she did great!
Me and Mom having a good time!
I forget just how beautiful it is on the dunes. Pockets of water and trees along the trails and just the open dunes overlooking the bay and you can take trails all the way out to the ocean. I remember going to the dunes when we were little in our old jeep. Sometimes Mom would make us kids get out while Dad tried to climb a steep hill. One of so many great memories from growing up where I did. I wouldn't trade where I grew up for anything.
