Fall Break

Every once in awhile I get a hankering to get out of town, and although the CUSD does not have a fall break, the Claremont Colleges do. We took advantage of the weekend to take a very quick trip up to Oregon to visit our daughter and son-in-law. She has a one-year position teaching biology at Pacific University in Forest Grove, and we didn't know if we would have a chance to see them in their new surroundings. So we made the opportunity happen. 
This photo shows the blue, blue, blue of the Pacific near Tillamook, but the colors we mostly saw were the lovely fall leaves. We lucked out with fabulous weather - sunny and warm. We kid around that the weather is always perfect in Oregon since we always experience it that way. That's much easier to do when we can choose the time to visit.
