Sometime during the summer, Inland Empire Girl gave us this sibling assignment.
Share a memorable family vacation memory that involved all three of us.
In my quest to complete my sibling assignments, mine is below. You can find IEG’s here, and RP’s here.
One of my memories is of a trip IEG, PKR and I took to
PKR and I were living in
IEG lived in
It was toward the end of July, as we traveled from the Tri-Cities area of
We arrived in
RP’s apartment was very warm that evening as well.
Actually, RP’s part in this trip is very small, unfortunately, because he didn’t go to
We had never been in this part of
At one point, we stopped at a rest area to put water on our faces so we wouldn’t pass out from the heat.
For those of you familiar with my sister and I, the fact we did a lot of visiting in the car will not surprise you; and PKR sat in the backseat, not saying a whole lot.
This changed when we arrived in
At this suggestion, my wonderful husband did have something to say.
“Let’s just go to the motel.”
As he saw it, that was the most logical course to take. Why remain in the hot, sweaty car longer than necessary when we could be in the motel pool in less than 10 minutes. So to the motel we went.
The weather made our trip very interesting. We saw a production of “Macbeth” in the outdoor theater one evening, and bats were flying around the stage, and there was thunder and lightening during the production. That night the lightening set off fires throughout the area, so we woke up to smoke.
As we left
Well, that didn’t happen. Now, just to refresh your memory, we had been in over 100 degree weather days earlier. Then we experienced thunder and lightening storms, and forest fires. It was the end of July.
When we arrived at
It was a crazy trip, but very enjoyable. Someday PKR and I hope to return to

The snow at Crater Lake had me laughing. Reminded me of our family trip to ND. We got a little lost and delayed for our side trip to Devil's Tower. We got there after dark! Couldn't even get a picture, but we could see the outline (barely) against the night sky. Thanks for sharing your travel stories!
