Fun with Mickey

This summer Tim's mom took all of us to Florida on a Disney cruise and to the parks.

5K on Castaway Cay - Disney's private island



We would get random visitors in our porthole on the ship. 

After a fabulous cruise we spent 6 nights at the parks at the Bay Lake Tower. We visited Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood studios.










The whole gang








Tim celebrated his 40th birthday while we were there.  He wanted to eat dinner at ESPN. While we were there we saw Shaq.

Oregon

Last year I supervised a team handling Oregon claims. During that time I hit it off with one of my employees and we have stayed in touch and became really good friends over the year.  When her office closed, I flew to Oregon to be there on her last day to help her "celebrate" the next chapter.  

We had a drink at Portland City Grill, on the 30th floor.  This is the view from our table. 

Our door knocker at our hotel in Portland.

We sang karaoke one night with a few of our corporate defense attorneys.

I loved all the moss growing on everything.  I thought it was so pretty.

The Waterfalls in Oregon are plentiful and very beautiful. 



We hiked to the top of the falls. This is looking down over the top. It was high enough you couldn't see the people at the top when standing on the ground.

The top was 542 feet.

On our way from Portland to Bend we took a slight detour through Washington.

Bride of the Gods.  The bridge that crosses from Oregon to Washington.

Government camp, the base of Mount Hood.

Bend is high desert - we went from snow to desert.



Check out Jackie's shirt.  I took her a little souvenir from Missouri.



 On the flight home this guy got to ride in the cabin. I love bulldogs. I wanted to take him home with me.
