Winter Vacation (Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona) December 2008

Right after Christmas, my family decided to have fun outside Oregon and experienced a crazy, memorable vacation throughout four states and many fabulous places. I wish all of my friends and family members could see what we were able to observe and discover during these days. Unforgettable yet tiring, it was one our longest trips we have ever taken by car. Some 3000 miles, many gallons of gas, thousands of pictures, a 3 years old in the back seat, a flat tire and huge number of gorgeous sites to visit and choose from have obviously meant a great challenge. Fortunately, my awesome family could stick together and survived this beautiful journey. We'd like to share some of those moments with the help of a few randomly chosen pictures from the thousands. Thanks Fulbright for this precious gift. A téli szünetben hatalmas fába vágtuk fejszénket és nekiindultunk a végtelen utaknak négy államon – California, Arizona, Nevada es persze szűk kis hazánk Oregon – át. Szerencsénk volt látni a Halál Völgyét, Grand Canyont, Las Vegast, Los Angelest és még sok minden mást. Kívánjuk, hogy mindazok, akik ezt a blogot lapozgatják, végig élvezhessenek egy hasonló utat. Csaknem 5000 km, óriási mennyiségű üzemanyag, rengeteg fotó alapanyag, csodaszép helyek, defekt, egy haroméves a hátsó ülésen kiváló alapanyagot szolgáltattak egy felejthetetlen utazáshoz. Köszönjük a Fulbrightnak - és mindazoknak, akik segítettek ebben a programban - a fantasztikus élményeket. Az alábbi képek talán adnak egy kis ízelítőt az útból.
