Well its beginning to get darker just a little earlier, school has been in session a few weeks now and its Labor Day weekend , which means a close to the summer . SO, we decided to take 1 last trip before the weather changes and, we won't be able to get anywhere ! Saturday ( 9/3 ) as soon as Damian got off work we gassed up the car and, headed North on I 5 to Roseburg, OR. on Sunday, the 4th. we will be visiting Winston, OR. and the Wild Safari Animal Park. and then heading over to the Oregon Coast for a few hours . before heading back to Roseburg for the night and, coming home on the 5th. This has been a "Mild Summer" so I can't say we're heading North to get out of the heat, But, it sure will be nice to get of town and the craziness for a while!! I have posted a few pictures from our travels!!




The pictures above were taken at a wildlife park in Winston, OR. Mandy LOVED it here as we were able to see so many of the animals close up !! The picture of the Dog and Cheetah in the snow, is an actual dog who "Adopted" this cheetah when it was rejected by its Mother, shortly after birth even NOW, they are the best of friend's and have formed a bond!!
After we were done at the Animal Park, we decided to drive over to the Coast ! what a beautiful and serene spot we can't wait to return there when we have more time to explore.
This little friend was waiting for us up by our car, undoubtedly looking for "Snacks" We had nothing to share!
We returned to our hotel in Roseburg, and after we ate dinner, Mandy wanted to take a swim .
The "Pink Goggles" Mandy is wearing were packed without my knowledge, but, when I saw them AND just how "SERIOUS" Mandy was about wearing them, it was all I could do to keep a straight face! Another girl at the pool had "Purple Goggles" and Mandy said she wants those next !!! Such a FUN Trip, what a way to end the summer !!!
