Part 4: Newberg. The Finale.

It was simply wonderful to end our trip in our "hometown" of Newberg. A special thanks to John and Erin for hosting a fantastic BBQ so that we could mingle with our college buds and their amazing families! It felt like old times being able to chat and catch up with lifelong friends. We also really enjoyed family time with Christy, Brian and Daniel in their "new" hometown, and with the Rickey grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles in their "old" hometown. We are truly blessed every time we come to Newberg!

The home of the Newberg Tigers...the old field is still there!

We were treated to the Oregon Zoo with cousin Daniel - what fun those boys had!!

 We took the zoo train over to Washington Park to visit the rose gardens and the playground

We even squeezed in a trip to Beaverton to visit John at the Nike Campus. All we could say was, "thanks!" and "wow!!"

We're now on the journey back home, packed with a trunk full of Nike gear. But, more importantly, we've created many beautiful memories to last us a lifetime. The road trip of 2012 was a major success! Let's do this again soon...
