The Nash Life On the Road

In August we loaded up the kids and headed to Las Vegas for a trade show for Knuckleheads....


Ruby was demanding........



The desert was dry and HOT..............


Daddy sang in the car........


We finally made it to the hotel and headed to the pool.........


Nothing is better than a cool pool in Vegas........





The new bridge being built over Hoover Dam.....



It was 114 this day at Hoover Dam, the kids were miserable...and I mean MISERABLE......







And finally show day..........


Although we enjoyed every bit of it, we decided that the kids are NW kids, we asked them if they would rather have 100 degree days in Vegas or a cool rainy gloomy day back home and they choose the cool rainy day..... I might even agree.

Family Outing to the Coast

I have been so busy traveling that I havn't had time to sit and post some pictures. I finally edited some of my favorite pictures that I took when my family came to visit. We stayed at our beach house on the coast and had a great time.
The kids put on a show for us and we roasted marshmallows and visited some beautiful light houses. My kids love their cousins so much, we just wish we could see them more!

Holland- no words


So, the last 4 weeks has pretty much been a blur to me, and I am still trying to recover from jet lag.
 
Since Sept 1st I have flown to LA, drove to Las Vegas (with the whole family), entertained 10 kids and 9 adults at our beach house at the coast, then 2 days later headed last minute to Holland to meet up with my parents and brother. 

Now don't think it is over yet...I head to New York in about 2 1/2 weeks then 2 days later to Florida where my baby bro is getting married. Obviously the trip to Holland was amazing and an experience that I will never forget, and was worth the trip. On the way home home I had an 8 hr flight to NY, then the 6 hr layover in NY and lastly a 6 hr flight home to Portland. My own bed has never felt so good before. 

Instead of words, I will let the images speak of my wonderful journey to Holland.  Home of my heritage, and home to many relatives that I had never met before and who welcomed us with open arms. I ate a lot and smuggled home 2 HUGE wheels of yummy dutch cheese and lots of yummy treats. 

(p.s. most of landscape images were taken with my iphone)
