That is something she can enjoy from the car. We drove through last week and the blooms are quite colourful. On the way back we are going to stop at an old fashioned drive-in called Boomers. It still has car hops that serve you at your car window. That should be fun outing for her without having to transfer in and out of her Powell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-25351521549233898502011-04-20T22:02:44.557-06:002011-04-20T22:02:44.557-06:00I think that is a trip we would enjoy, floating do...I think that is a trip we would enjoy, floating down the river on a barge.Martha Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797951661712327698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-88020255052791585982011-04-20T18:36:12.665-06:002011-04-20T18:36:12.665-06:00I like your choice for N.
