The Coombs Family

ALASKA! We went to Alaska for a week to do some major fishing. We went to go fish the red salmon and do some site seeing. My parents, Rhoda & Trevor, Grandpa Walker, Uncle Gordon, Uncle Carl and his son Fletcher all went together. They had a particularly bad year for fishing however. The main reason that Caleb wanted to go, and we weren't having much luck. Caleb caught the biggest fish and he did catch about one a day. Not what we were hoping for though.  We hiked up to a glacier that was just amazing.  It was pretty cold, but the view and the water was incredible. We hate some huge king size crab legs. My goodness are they huge. It cost us $120 for a huge box of the biggest crab legs you have ever seen. We stayed with a family and didn't have to pay anything for rent. We just each gave them some money at the end to thank them for their hospitality. The mosquito's are a little too intense for me. You can keep your crazy bugs Alaska. No thank you! It was very beau...

This year it was my turn to make the plans. Caleb was very romantic on our first anniversary, so I decided to be a little more adventurous. We stayed at Mt Hood Inn for a week and went snowboarding four days in a row. It was so much fun. We have been hitting the mountain a lot and have lots of gear, so it made for a great week. We had a suite at the Inn and had a nice huge soaking tub in our room. We took lots of baths after a long day of riding. It was really nice to spend all that time on the mountain with Caleb. We got plenty of time at the park, riding the country and through the trees and even tried the half pipe. I didn't ride the pipe, but I did watch Caleb. He taught me how to slide on rails which is very scary and fun. I am even starting to do small jumps now and get my board off the ground a little. The rails are very slippery and I want to go slow, but that makes it worse. You just have to hit it, and hope you don't die. I went too slow on the first mailbox and end...
