Books I'm Hogging From The Library: The April 25, 2009 Edition
I spent three of the past seven days out of town on "vacation." And by using the word "vacation," I really mean "a trip that involves even more work than staying at home." But still. Everything in my life, including my library list, was saying to me: TAKE A STINKIN' BREAK, YOU DORK.
So I did.
Best Hikes with Kids: Oregon :: I hiked to see four waterfalls during my "days off" (don't even argue with me about the necessity of those quotes!) and would have missed all of them if it wasn't for this book. It's such a great resource; I might just have to buy it. (*eyes bugging*)
Live Your Road Trip Dream: Travel for a Year for the Cost of Staying Home :: Part of my homeschooling dream is to travel-school with the kids at least once back and forth across the country. This book is the start of making that happen.
Pacific Coast Highway: Traveler's Guide :: I'm still trying to talk Hubs into a trip to San Francisco, at the very least. I've got to break him down, little by little.
Pacific Coast Highway: 2,066 Miles from Olympic to Tijuana :: More of the same. With lots of pictures.
Oregon: Portrait of a State :: This is an awesome picture book of Oregon. We've been in the Pacific Northwest 1 1/2 years now, and as we see more of what there is to see, the pictures in this book remind us why we love our new home. And it acts as sort of a scrapbook, since that little hobby of mine seemed to go into hibernation right around the time that we moved. (Which, coincidentally, was right around the same time we added a third child. Mmm-hmmm.)
You might have noticed I like my state. Go ahead, let's havetwo people everyone give a shout-out and say what state they're from. You can do it. I promise I won't stalk you on my road trip across the country.

North Carolina!
(there, you're 50% of the way to your goal)
West Texas here! I say West Texas because it seems like a totally different state than East Texas!
Alabama! w00t!
Gresham,OR here! I love my state too!!
Michigan! We have great hikes too!
(Just noticed your Amazon link on the left - "How I Make 9 Cents a Month" - LOL! You should add, like all those ads I'm seeing lately - "In My Sleep!"
OHIO - hiking country??? Sure, in the backs of all our corn, bean and wheat fields. Or mushroom hunting, or woodchuck hunting, etc. I guess we "used to hike" when we did some of these things, didn't we? For some reason, I always remember looking through your hair for certain clinging "bugs". Fun times.
May I just mention that my Mom has totally affirmed me in my excessive use of quotes. ("quotes")
That is all.
Alabama!
I really enjoy seeing everything you're reading--it's tempting to start a similar feature!
