Day 4

Day 4 was one of the more adventuresome since we spent it on the Rogue River. I need to point out that although we went to Oregon last year, I tried to plan new and exciting activities to make this vacation different. Rafting was not something we did last year and it turned out to be one of the family favorites.


Here Tobias models the very hip looking river wear, including very rugged water booties:

(Someone looks fabulous!)

Gill was our guide:


Delaney and I stayed in the big raft with him while the guys kayaked alongside us. Gill was a nice and informative guy. He taught me the difference between a rainbow trout and a steelhead. (I find things like that interesting.)

Pictures speak louder than words, so here you go:


When we were packing our wet selves back into the Vibe, we caught sight of the "C OOL BUS":


Note to self--when using spray-on sun block, still use your hand to rub it around a bit for even coverage:


(No, those hairy things are not mine!)

After the river fun, we cleaned up in our hotel room, went out for Thai food and drove over to one of Ashland's many theaters to see "The Music Man" performed live.


It was very well done. Although I knew most of the songs from childhood (my mom LOVES musicals), I resisted the urge to sing them out from my seat in the audience and just enjoy them silently.

It was about 11:00 pm when we got back to the room and finally went to bed. It was a very full day.

...and that was Day 4.
