Back From St. George

Pictures loaded backwards... SO this is the van we rode to Las Vegas w/ 15 people.
I wanted to share that I was in the back corner CRAMMED into a 4 person bench IN the
CORNER for 2 hours, oh, I said that...
Thank goodness I am NOT clausterphobic?? We flew in and out of Las Vegas to go stay
w/ Grampa for a week while Grma went to her grandsons wedding in WA.
We got to go to the Draper Temple dedication and Brigham Young's winter home
and Zion's Nat. Park and PLENTY of milk shakes w/ Grandpa.
We ate brunch on Sat. at the Bear Claw and it was YUMMY! Dad Michael
got the short stack and it COVERED the plate!
This is Grpa/Grma in St. George, they are "snow-birding" from SLC area
and it was nice down there in their "Temple View" trailer park.
Grandpa picked the crepes and I shared some w/ him, they were SO good!
We stayed Tues-Tues. and had plenty to do the WHOLE week!
Wound Clinic for Grpa's legs to be wrapped,
Grma to the Shuttle Wed. morning early,
Home health nurse to the trailer to wrap Grpa's legs,
out to dinner to the Golden Corral and Olive Garden,
Potluck Wed. night dinner w/ the park,
milkshakes for lunch,
card playing and banana creme pie w/ Betty and Reid a couple of nights,
a couple trips to Walmart, Albertson's and Kmart.
A day drive thru the Zions Nat. Park (beautiful!)
Stripped the wallpaper off the bedroom wall.
Watched TV a couple nights, busy and entertaining!
Thanks Grpa for the fun week and the great hospitality!!
LOVE YOU!! Glad Grma got to go to the wedding!!

THIS side of the Pacific!

Michael and I took off Sat. for Monterey and Carmel!
An absolutely beautiful day at Carmel Beach and we took a walk along the beach.
The water was COLD on my feet!! 
Michael at our condo watching the sun sink into the ocean and the colors
were amazing!  It was COLD, but beautiful.
Jake and Camille, we stopped by YOUR home to say "HI!" but you weren't
home??  It still looked like no one was living there, put an offer on it!!
Jumping back in time and over to Kauai, Jesse looking at the luggage
he loaded for us to fly to the mainland...  A BIG move in progress!!
Thank goodness for Jenna's flight bene's...  We couldn't do this event w/o
her help!!!  We Fed Ex-ed 2 boxes earlier that day!  It's amazing how much
stuff we have at 50 lbs. at a time!!!     ?
A busy day at the wharf, I am delivering the CRV to ship to Oakland.
Jesse is behind me to help w/ the delivery.  The cruise ship was there and
things were BUSY!!
Our timeshare in Monterey, right on the ocean.  This is looking out our
kitchen area, not as close to the waves as Jake/Camille were, but nice!
THERE'S that ocean that we ALL love!!  Sunny and blue, everyone was 
lovin' it!!  SO many dogs running around too!  And surfers in full wet suits!
We match the water!  Loving the sunshine and the white sand!
Likin' Michael's hat!  Sun protection necessary today!
There's that ocean again!  The fog pushed back and it was GORGEOUS!!
