Diane and Peter: <\/strong> We got to spend a week traveling from Sacramento, California to Seattle, Washington. We gained a greater appreciation for the incredible beauty of the United States and we absolutely loved seeing the Redwoods again. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPeter’s Snow Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I grew up in the west where we saw snow every year. I started some snow sports when I was in college–I love snowboarding and the few times I’ve gone cross country skiing I’ve loved it (and hated it… I guess that’s the nature of exhausting your body). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Paddling Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We’ve had an inflatable standup paddleboard for 6-7 years now–and it’s been a treasure of an exploration watercraft. Some of my favorite experiences in my life have been floating down lazy emerald Texas rivers, dodging turtles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have an inflatable kayak that we enjoy taking the family out on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
