The Very Merry Perrys!A coast-to-coast family adventure! 20 extended Perry family members came together from the west and east coasts for a family vacation and picked WWW to host them on the beautiful Rogue River!
Pat Perry, the family organizer emailed us about his WWW trip, "We had forgotten so many of the special things that identified us as 'us' in our younger days. Over the years when we met for rushed family celebrations, or weddings or busy vacations, we never seemed to find the time to share ourselves, our kids' excitement, our laughs about our past and our dreams and hopes for the future. We all just seemed to be too busy…but then… "One cousin talked to another and that one to another…'remember how it was when we were teenagers and we all camped in Yosemite? Why don't we have time for that anymore?' And so the idea of a river trip seemed to grow into the ideal way to reconnect. To find time to listen to each other…to have fun…to not have to cook or clean…to just enjoy each other and our kids. |
"And in the end, the trip was magical. We shared the stillness of the early morning with ducks rustling among the reeds for food, watched the beauty of ospreys searching for fish, giggled over the sounds of splashing whitewater and thrilled to rapids that were never too hard but always on the perfect edge of fun. "For those of us who were older…what did we find? That a river trip is the ultimate vacation for a family. We had time for talking…listening…and remembering what we had together and what we had valued about each other. We shared growth in many of our children…even right before our eyes in the space of only four river days. We found our roots again, and we had the absolute most fun we have had in ages. "As soon as I got home I checked my email. Four messages…one from each family, "Can we do this again next year?" This was the finest family trip I have ever been on…a sentiment shared by all who were there."
